They are excellent so far. I replaced a funky pair of Bose 901s.

I have played the following for break-in purposes:

Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon
Steely Dan -- Aja
Robin Trower -- Bridge of Sighs
Queen -- A Night at the Opera (for Mrs. Dr. onzedge™)

They have revealed the weak link that is my power amp and I am debating the wisdom of pulling the trigger on the McIntosh MC152 which costs $4,500.

Glad you like them.

It is a deep, dark, scary rabbit-hole that you are staring into

The tonal quality is very good, but I have only about 7 hours total on them (at decent volume). I expect improvement over the next several hours of use as they break in.

I have them about a foot off the wall and I am playing around with placement to find the sweet spot.

They reveal weakness in my power amp and CD transport and I am going to replace the amp in about 2 weeks and then the CD.
