For now, I'll say that the reviews on the midrange of these speakers is spot on....dead sexy!
Congrats Brent on the MC501s and the IB2is! Your system looks fantastic! I know you must be enjoying the sound of that combo!

Brent, I have said it before, but it bears repeating: your room and gear look great!

Thank you for all of the compliments guys. I love the one about "big bookshelf speakers." I would love to see the bookshelf that would support these beasts! Ha!

Each night, the speakers are becoming a little sweeter with a little more air and a more grand soundstage....evidence that one of three things are happening (or maybe a little bit of each.)

1. They still need time to break in because they are that new.
2. They need time to run-in with the rest of my system.
3. I'm getting used to and appreciating the difference between the EB1i and the IB2i.

I will post a more complete run-down of my experiences and thoughts sometime during this upcoming three day weekend.
