I've used Blue Skys a number of times. They sound good, but I personally think that their Bass Management system is a little off. In a small room, 12'W 14-16'L 8'H, the bass sounds great. The moment you get it into a theater or even on a tv it seems like my speakers are going to blow. I'm getting my composers mixes from a guy who mixes on a blue sky system and i listened to the music in my car and it rattled my rear window. The song was a string octet. THAT NEVER HAPPENS!
So, that is just my experience.... but if calibrated properly I'm sure they would translate well too.
Now on to business, I tested out my A7s running a frequency sweep slowly from 1000 down to 20Hz. Once I got below 50Hz I got a very slight push pull feeling. Hardly enough for me to pick up. But no distortion. The Push Pull is a bit of an issue, but not enough for me to go out and buy new monitors. It sounded plump and round. I got a nice surprise while doing this though. I found that the freq response stuck around until about 27Hz. NICE
