I've had a pair for a few months and like them quite a bit. Not potent or overly defined bass, but they are solid in the highs and mids. Nice on vocals, it's the clearest I've heard Neil Young in a while. Sounded good with tubes and ss gear. As mentioned previously, they are quite efficient. If the price is reasonable to you, get them. Not a totl speaker, but good to try for a while, made me curious enough to want to try the Formula 6. Mine have grills but even without them, they are quite attractive to me. Very cool monitor look. It won't change your life, but add it to the 'I've tried it' bank in my case.
