They are easy to setup and very musical. Unlike the Wilson for example, even the people that are not dead on the sweet spot can still enjoy all they have to offer. I sometimes listen to them off center (like when I'm working) and they still work their magic.

Pair them with tubes and you have one of the best combo you can imagine.

And that red violin

We are very much on the same page. A big taste of Stradivari at half the price.

They are music instead of sound.

"Resonant as wood" suggests different material(s) for the enclosure.
