Got a pair of 2.5i recently in mahogany finish. Beautiful speakers. Power them with a pair of 40w vintage tube amps. Big, beautiful sound, but those cheap clips on driver connections must go to realize the true sound of this design.
Not power hungry if you are using tubes. A 10Wter will give you very sweet sound too. Bass is tuneful and in proportion to the rest of the system. Very satisfied guy I am after all the Soundlab, ML, Mag, Apogee, Infinity RS, and Legacy focus....
