I think most of us have passed the performance of these in their systems on certainterms.
They have no real bass to speak of. Of course I have not played with different amps yet and positioning has to be optimized, but they have a great midrange and the highs are suprisingly good. Suprisingly I say, because I had the Cain and Cain Abbeys with the same drivers and they had no high end and nil air.
These outperform the Abbeys by a large degree.
People say I got thru a lot of gear, and I would have to say YES!, but most of it is not mine and usually on loan. I enjoy experiencing different sounds, they all have their pluses and minuses.
Single drivers do have an allure, no crossover is a big plus, plus high efficiency lets you use low power amps built for beauty rather than brute force.
Crossovers get in the way, no way out of it unfortunatley, you can hear them when you hear a single driver system, unfortunatley a single driver can't do it all either!
So pick your poison.
Some music sounds glorious on these speakers ..rock and roll well you can imagine it not working out too well.
And Mike the two drivers are not phasey at all..I listen in nearfield and the focused soundstage is pretty wide so no head in a vice here
all in all ...fun...not the answer for me...but not bad, from what I understand alot can be done to the drivers to help them perfom better, these drivers are stock and still burning in.
