Summary: i'm an audio enthusiast not audiophile so this will be a simple review.
The Conways are my favourite speakers, marvelous clarity, beautiful staging, considerable subtlety on delicate pieces, *have moved me to tears =)* and incredible, seismic bass. The Crystal Method, Meat Katie, Fluke etc sound as they would want to be heard. Being a pianist myself i have a large collection of piano concertos which the Conways treat as beautifully as the dance music.
In addition, they are very forgiving of a lesser front end source, my currently used amplifier is only a Cambridge Azur 640 v2 but the combination produces a sound that would cost a lot more dosh than i've spent to better.
Ps if the price paid shows up as dollars, it should be pounds. Even i can't get that good a bargain.=)
Strengths: Their warmth, clarity and bass.
Weaknesses: EH????? What weaknesses??????=)
Similar Products Used: Monitor Audio Br6, Mordaunt Short 3-40's, Castle Stirling (1988)
