Mythtrip this can be said about all speakers. There's no speaker that does it for everyone. I remember listening to a pair years ago and the dealer said everyone should love these speakers because they are tuned to be flat accross the audio spectrum. Hey some people like that and some don't. I have owned a pair of SC-IV and SC-IVa and was about to "invest" in a pair of SC-V about a year ago but decided not to. I'm a big fan of tall speakers. Hey if you like the sound they are good for you and if you don't they are not. I hate to say this but with this economy there will be more closings. I'm sure its hard enough in a booming economy to survive but it has got to be rough these days.
