I have been using the product over 3 years. It is easy to drive. I use a 6C33B SET monoblock amplifiers to drive these speakers. I bought it new and was paid 5.500$. I suppose this was less than it's normal sales range. While buying these speakers I have comparied it with Sonus faber Cremona, which has a huge difference in favor of PL300. But when compared to Guaneri homage guaneri has a more pleasent midrange, but lacking the low bass.
PL300 has a big sound stage. Non fatigue type of listening. Great resolution. But of course it has to be compared with similar priced speakers. I am satifsied with these speakers very much.
