As a two-time owner of these celestion ditton 66 studio monitors,
I'll give you my opinion about them.
Back in the day, I used them with a marantz 4400 receiver, as well as a pair of mcintosh mc 30.
These speakers highlight the mids, they have pretty detailed highs only and a good foundation in the lows,
which are fuller with the Marantz. The tweeter gets pretty high with ease and without being irritating.
These speakers are comfortable with all types of music and deserve a big room to really give their best in the low end,
as well as a powerful and musical amp for the passive drivers.
The only thing I would criticize about them is that the low mids are weaker, compared to JBL monitors or even the smaller 44s, it's flagrant.
It's true that with a mid-range 5.5" driver the frequencies around 500Hz have a hard time coming through.
And it's a pity, because if they didn't have that disadvantage I would still have them with me.
