I have heard it and many other vintage gear with various vintage speakers in the day (ie mid/late 70's). Contact OHM Acoustics and ask for availability of new and refurbished OHM Ls, C2s, or Hs (all under $1000/pair I believe if available. Also ask about the various advantages differences among these. Or, pick up an old pair with cabinets in good shape on ebay, try them out, and send them to OHM for the upgrades to latest drivers and technology for possibly even lower cost if desired.

I had Kirkseater 220s before. The EPIs sound great. I should have done it long before.
