LoL, there nice little speakers my Man! The concentric design is great for near field since you don’t have to be back a certain distance for the drivers to integrate; they’re already perfectly integrated as they are a point source. They image well even off axis and they play plenty loud.
The reference series is a step up from the entry level “q” series.
If you like rosewood (which I do) they are awfully pretty speakers.
They come with grills which on the Q series are optional, not that you want to cover up those beautiful drivers.
They sound fantastic and I was planning on keeping them as my main speakers but things came together that allowed me to get some Carrera BE’s
I already got a quote for $220 for the pair, to upgrade the entire crossovers with brand new, completely assembled crossovers, using Clarity CSA caps and Solen and Goertz inductors with Mundorf Film resistors on the tweeter. Thats from madisound and it would be a plug and play upgrade.
They had an original msrp of $1200...
what more could you possibly want for $425??
Original boxes, styrofoam packaging, original literature? Got it!
I’ve even got a bow I’ll put on the box, no joke!
