Guru QM-10... Anybody Heard Them? More Than Lows?

looking for a small monitor to replace Wilson Audio Cubs and was advised to check out the Guru QM-10 - seems like these are most notable for their remarkable low end extension. How do these do for mids and highs? I've got the bottom end covered by a JLAudio Sub, so am more interested in the mids and highs... looking for speakers that disappear and have a lot of 'sparkle' up top. If you've heard them, how do the Guru's do here?

I heard them last year at a dealer and was not too impressed. I was really looking for a speaker to be placed near the back wall.

I would agree with the comment "The Swedish Bose".

It can do some nice things/tricks but the overall presentation and sound was not to my liking. For the price I believe there are much better speakers.

You might check out the Sonist Concerto 2. Very lively, transparent and disappear.

Just picked up a new pair here on Audiogon and I am captivated by this rather odd looking speaker. Not a Bose believe me, LOL
Wanted to ditch the floor standers and get a monitor that did not leave me missing the lower octaves and these allow near full range low volume listening as well as spirited listening at live levels. There are of course better monitors if you have an unlimited budget I imagine but as I have very modest resources, these little guys really do live up to the gushing reviews I read before taking a leap with the Gurus .
