Tim,
Initially, the Scorpio's delivered a marginal improvement over my previous speakers. I bought them primarily because my search for speakers was becoming tedious and I'd always appreciated the characteristics of the Virgo's, (warm, liquid mids, precise, crisp highs and acceptable bass). Since the Scorpio's appeared, I've completed four tweaks that enabled them to achieve their potential: ESST, cable elevators, RRL and H.T. interconnects. In fact, the speakers have surpassed my expectations with their accuracy, clarity, soundstage and unbelievable amount of tight bass. They are claustrophobic though, and prefer lots of personal space.
Again, thank you for the recommendations to quell the cereal syndrome. I'm looking forward to the pursuit.
Mike
