Most listeners discount them because they suck.

Being revered has little relevance.

Bill, diplomatic as ever. :-)

I actually think their $350 speaker is pretty good. The rest of the line, not so much.

Look, the point is, I could care less what you, a reviewer or anyone else says. To my ears, they sound much better than any other speakers that has been in my house, with the exception of the Proacs which sound as good but in a different way. That's one of the reasons I kept the 1.6 so long is because everyone was saying how great they are so I figured it must be me. I've learned to judge components based on my own likes or dislikes and not because someone says they suck.

Then again, if truth be told, the same speakers can sound either truly wonderful or truly terrible in the same room depending on their associated components and how well (or how poorly) they are set up (positioned within the room)...

Fruff,
just curious if you used a sub with your 1.6's?

Thanks
