The E-48s are get up and go. They are a lot fun. In other words they have good punch, the rock! I think these speakers perform better than their price. I paid 650.00 for the E-48s. They are in my secondary system for my bedroom. AAD shipped to me and they took about 200 hours before they really started sounding good. While I was waiting for them to break in, I auditioned 6 other speakers in the one thousand dollar range. The E-48s were right up there so I decided to keep them as they are a good price for performence speaker. I have a NAD 541i cd player, Rotel 1065 reciever, Home Grown Silver Lace interconnects, and Nordust flatwire speaker cable. They can sound a little bright, but I have Silver interconnects and a solid state amp (The Rotel 1065) so maybe tubes or different interconnects can corret it. I hope that helps. Thanks.
