I am no audiophile but I have listened to them last Friday and they can sing. They were warm but needed a bigger room, IMO, to really show its potential. After listening to them, every other speaker he played sang not so well (in comparison that is)... very bad indeed.
It did not need an audiophile to discern that these speakers were in a different level. The price I think is worth it for those really interested because the build and sound quality is top-notch. I do not have the dough to buy these but just like anyone who visits his shop, bought something else.
Kudos to you Anthony for the hospitality and the patience.
