Totally depends on your tastes/system. When I heard them at a show I thought they excelled at imaging, soundstage, natural sound, disappearing act. Bonus is that they’re tube friendly. Probably not the best choice if you’re looking for hyper-detailed/aggressive treble or for heavy metal/rap, etc., but other than that they’re outstanding speakers IMHO and competitive with most anything else at that price level. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
