I am very pleased with their sound. I listen to a wide variety of musical styles and they work well on all of them. The particular speakers I have (I have forgotten the number) have a 12" woofer, 5" midrange, a dome tweeter and a port with treble/midrange level controls. I think they can handle ~80 watts/channel. I am most impressed with their efficiency and the clarity of reproduction. I have hooked up other speakers (from friends) and switched back and forth between the different sets and mine always seem to sound better/louder at the same amp volume setting. I think I paid $380. for the pair (it was an end-of-year sale amd I knew the salesman.. they listed at 800, and sold normally for 500). They were well worth the money.
