I love them. I am not blind to their shortcomings now that I have lived with the Betas for almost two years and the Strads a few months, but they are enjoyable to listen to. In my current room, I have them producing the best stage I have ever had with them. Mainly because I have always had to insure the family could coexist with them.
[Still need to get the bass right and will be adding some spikes soon.]
Update --- installed home made spikes using hardware from Lowes. My Pennsylvania room is on concrete so I had forgotten the importance of, and difference created, by spikes. My Bonus room floor was part of the bass frequencies and the spikes have greatly reduced that. In turn, not surprising to most here, the bass has tightened considerably.
