These speakers are impressive in terms of accuracy, imaging, and openness. The bass response is great for small to midsize rooms, considering the rather small piston area of the woofers. The woofers and tweeter integrate at the acoustic crossover point quite admirably with no audible effects of strain on the tweeter, and no grunge apparent from the woofers. Much like studio monitors, their excellent sound quality reveals the true nature of a recording. One important note: the speakers’ optimum performance is achieved when used in conjunction with 24" stands.
