Just a little sharp at the very top but not really harsh - upper midrange is very full and smooth. I feel like careful pairing of electronics fixes most of it. They are very immediate and I would say realistic to my ear. With the right placement transparent and image well. Bass can be a bit overwhelming in some placements but room treatment tamed that well enough. Their strong suit is definitely midrange.
These speakers are making the search for the next pair very difficult from a cost v. performance perspective.
