sorry guys! The interest that first appeared led me to forget totally!
The speakers are gorgeous in the flesh no matter what anyone says! They are hand carved and finshed beautifully, i chalenge anyone to find me a more nicely finished speaker!
Performance wise..... since it is late and im tired, i'll give a very quick sum up. The enclosures themselves are relatively small, as such it is unsurprising that the sound is not exactly enormous in the bass department. Size there may not be, but there is plenty of punch, the cabinet design i think enhances this because of the method of porting, but there is definitely bite in lower frequencies.
Over all, the speakers manage a nice sonic picture. Properly set up there is little hearing the speakers themselves, they blend in and you would swear the sound was coming from the center. But, the sound is not exactly beafy..... or warm. It is quite clinical at times to be honest and possibly does not invite listening to some harsher types of music.
Another point to note is that these are complete dogs out of the box! It took a long time before they showed what they can do!
to sum up, these are not perfect, they lack bass extension, warmth and can have a bite at higher frequencies with nasty music. On the plus side, they are not overly coloured, they have a punch sound and manage to image really very well. In my view this is really a very good little speaker considering th £100 pricetag per pair.
