+1 for the CMS series. It is Top Notch Hardware. Surely there is an extra push of sonic depth with the Solo6. And then the Twins......The BE range are clearly amazing speakers in all regards.

Anyway - I recently had a change to try the CMS40 with the CMS Sub and thought it was a fantastic system that sounded like something you can work with and get amazing results, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the CMS50's all day long. Those things are phenoms.
