Lawrence Audio speakers?

Im curious about these... the appearance suggests they should be used for classical.  The "ribbon" style AMT tweeter and midrange.... I mean, has anybody been rocking RUSH on these?

Big, complex modern jazz, or semi-loud classic rock?   I'm wondering if they would hold up to louder selections.

@hukkfinn The appearance does make it feel that way, but I think they are well rounded enough for any genre you throw at them. The Violin series has the 8 inch driver which has excellent impact and definition, as long as your room is not huge you can get by comfortably without a sub. They are quite dynamic and satisfying with bands like Tool, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree. 

The smaller Mandolin is obviously more limited due to the 6.5 inch driver, still kicks about as hard as any small/medium monitor style design I've heard.

@hukkfinn -- your post is an excellent illustration of how the visual appearance of a product affects our expectations of sound quality. However at 88 dB sensitivity I'd still expect a true headbanger looking for live rock concert sound levels to go for something more efficient.

I asked about these as well a while back. Seems as if he’s focusing on the Asian markets with a diminished NA presence. 

@mlsstl Good point, but any speakers can still rock hard if you drive them with enough power! Realistically I don't think the Lawrence speakers are up there with Klipsch in that regard, but they are still really nice well-rounded performers with no major weak spots.

@simao Thank you for that. Good info. That's too bad, but I can see how the logistics probably make sense for them.
