[DRC]

Well Bob if you are going to try them out all I can say is they aren't light and the components might surprise you.

I have them tri-amped and they sound very, very good. I auditioned them tri-amped with McIntoshes in a well tuned room and I was blown away. I have them in a not so well tuned room tri-amped with Brystons. The imaging isn't as mind blowing here but again, the room and the amps are different. In this setting they are pretty much how kjg described them: dry. I'm sure with a different set of amps the qualities might be different.

I will say that I am sure I would get a better mix out of my Bryston/IB1 rig than I would trying to mix on a set of Quads or Sonus Fabers powered by Naim amps. I love going to the Audiophile shop here in town and listening to vinyl on the latter but I doubt I could get any serious work done on them to translate.
