meekeenz,
I do not have the Gurus anymore. Actually regret selling them. They are definitely not the last word in resolution, articulation or max volume. What they are is very musical and fun to listen to. Setup right they do definitely have a bass response that far defies their size. Voices especially I found great on them. Where they don't do real well is with fast complex music. I would recommend a small to medium size room if you like to play loud. They have that little light on the front where it lights up if you are pushing the speaker limits. At the volumes I liked I was always right on the edge. I much preferred tubes with them. Sounds like i am criticizing them but spread them out to the corners with a slight toe in and I think you would be impressed. The guy I sold them to still had them a year later and loves them.
