"...Real world experience"

No but listened to the 1610 at Axpona this past year and they truly were WONDERFUL! I went back 4 or 5 times and each time they had my feet tapping along with every song. I keep hearing them in my mind that says "buy me" but my wife says I have enough gear. But some day I'll pull the trigger.

I can only vouch for their subs (Pair of 1723 1S) which IMO sound great, are built well, highly configurable, are excellent value-for-the-money, and their customer service was exemplary.

Chat with them over email - I think they will be open and honest.

I just bought a pair of the 1528 Monitor 8s. Should have them some time next week. Thanks for all the replies.

Here's hoping you love them! I've heard the 1528 series Bookshelf 8s, and Monitor 8s on several occasions and have been impressed each time.....I do prefer the Monitor 8s. A friend of a friend has the Bookshelf 8s that I've been lucky enough to hear twice driven by a CODA 16.....he didn't like them as much with his tube amp; not sure which one

Please reach back out once you've set them up, I'd love to hear your feedback

@ozzy62 following this post, look forward to your "review".
