Its been almost a year since I purchased the Towers. They are not as impressive as the monitors. You kinda expect to get deep bass out of a speaker this size. You do not expect to get the bass you get our of the monitors. If you close your eyes when listening to the monitors you just can't believe the speakers aren't bigger than thet are. The Towers do play louder, deeper and may be a little smoother in the midrange. One thing is for certain I was bothered by the sound of the towers on some music and was about ready to look at something else. Decided to go through my system to make sure everything was set correctly. Found that the balanced cables between my Gustard R26 Dac and Luxman 507ux integrated amp were connected out of phase. Things got better especially the midrange, after changing the phase on the amp. (I listened to the monitors with the Gustard and Luxman out of phase the whole time I had them no doubt they would have sounded better with that correction.)
