I had these past eight months pregnant, but I did install since only one month (September 2008) (because I moved). standards they are (literally and figuratively!)

I love: the look, color (black in my case), the sound fidlite
the least: it takes place! and neighbors over a KM!

I tried Sony columns (incomparable) and bookcase MISSION

I've had them for sale (used for 2 weeks) 1200 the pair, so I think it's a fair price the era, and when you love the sound fidlite is does not count!
I do it again this election without worries, share it takes place ...

for a small personal precision, they recreate the exact sound recordings (the noise: Mechanical instruments, the beating of the feet of a pianist (example dvd MIKA on his piano), the respiration of Jazz players, as well as all the small details that I love).
on the other hand, where a record with a hiss in the treble (16kH - 17kH), I heard louder than before (normal, given the quality of the speakers) should be same as when I Specifies that I have a very good ear, and I hates the notches of 50Hz CRT TV!!
I only use them (only in 2.0: I'm more than HiFi cinema) with Ampli Onkyo TX-NR906 bridge.
I used the cable spcial HP 4mm drive with a central strand and strands around thinner and flexible and what cable is too big for the connectors (both the amplifier than those of HP, it would take 2.5 or 3 max) and I had to cut a few strands of turn to tighten.

I note 9 / 10 because of congestion (but justified by its very active!)
