need advice on odyssey sunfire system

i live in the middle on hicksville and can not audition any speakers without a 4 hour drive. not that i mind but it will take a month to work back and forth to kansas city and st louis to check out speakers. maybe i should just get some tektons or odyssey monitors and try them out when i get the cyclops? if you don't mind me asking what is the area of concern about the sunfires? i,m after pretty much what everyone is,,,some speakers that in the price range have some relative wow factor with the cyclops.

sorry for double post. yes i have definitly been reading about klauses bookshelves., some texton lores, and maybe even the new guys used mbquarts. klause advised get the amp and use it for a few weeks on my mmgs and phase techs. i have also read about the new atlantic technology with their new technology, it also seems the sunfires get good press about the innovation with the ribbon tweeter and side woofers. so it should be a fun month of reading and looking. i heard the new revels are awesome even tho a bit out of the price range. thanks for the advice,,,john

sorry for double post.

I love the sound of the Sunfire ribbons but I have heard them sound a little hot with the wrong ss amps. You can't beat the Sunfire subs considering the size they move plenty of air. Totem might be another speaker you could check out. Totem always has a great sounding room at the shows and they are not afraid to set-up the entry level speakers. You are going to end up with a nice system, you are going about it properly.

If your budget can bear it, consider the Odyssey momoblocks. Made a huge difference to my system.
