Six years later, very very happy with these speakers.  They gave me exactly what I was looking for stepping down from my 4 tower Genesis speakers.  Still wanted great sound, emotion and soul and a much smaller footprint.  On top of that they can pound out some unbelievable bass, and drums, when I kick things up.  I've tried many different amps with these speakers, to get what I feel is right.  I finally feel like I've hit a home run with the EMM Labs MTRS and Tannoy combo....just unbelievable.  Had some issues with Absolare and the Distributor which ended up being a blessing, because the MTRS is next level, without doubt.

Revised: built a new smaller stand.  Love the size and accessibility.
