At first I’ll admit I wasn’t blown away. I had been using Polk TSI200 for my Fronts. Only because they were half off $150. Since it was good enough I’ve had no reason to upgrade. Decent sound. Handled lots of power. But I’ve always wanted a Speaker that was up to par with the rest of my gear. Outlaw 975 pre amp. Massive Yamaha PC2200 (240 RMS + 240RMS) So high hopes thinking first listen will be amazing. It sounded good but “small”. I know there’s a break in process. But still I was disappointed. But I didn’t give up. The more the played all types of music I could hear the High End sound I was looking for. And being new speakers and me having lots of power I was afraid to damage it as soon as I got them. But I got the courage to crank it up, and they handled the power with not so much ease (dial the xover to 100 hz and add a sub and you’ll be set) they still are only book shelfs but the sound stage and clarity was incredible. Almost went with the D11’s but that would be over kill for my place. Loving every string pluck for from a guitar. Plus it handles movies just as good. I’m a stereo guy as opposed to HT.

Great looks, better sound. These things sound like towers. Paired with D5C center and I have been blow away.

One of the better sturdier speakeres on the market for the price. It's heavy and well built, sleek looking and the offset tweeter totally makes it stand out with the grill off. For the sound, well it's really sweet, full body, very good for jazzy and vocal type listining, one star down because I couldnt raise up the volume too high without it clipping the amp, other than tht this is a great speaker to enter the HIFI domain.
