I have had them installed for about 3 weeks now (see pics in my system), and they have about 70 hours of low to moderate playtime.
To me, they are all about low registers - very strong and dynamic from bass to lower-midrange; they retain the Denton 80th signature sound but with more extreme, detail, dynamics, imaging, and bigger soundstage of course, commensurate to their size.
They can sound too muffled to some, with a recessed mid/upper medium and treble, yet they are capable of giving good detail and they do image really well, even if they lack air. Of course, this is with my integrated (marantz pm8400).
I think their forte is imaging, dynamics without fatigue, and the size of the soundstage (I am used to 2-way with 5"1/4 woofers). The sound character is really a matter of taste. It works for some music (jazz, classical, electronics), but can lack clarity and air with rock and pop.
They are really laidback.
