Summary:
I'm reviewing these for my pops who would never care to share how wonderful his system is. In 2002 I was torn between the studio 80's and Energy's Veritas 2.4's. The Energy's were very bright, but sounded excellent overall. Then I popped into General Audio and heard the 100's connected to a tube amp (I had never yet heard the 80's). WOW! They were simply amazing. To make sure I wasn't seduced by the high-current tube-amp sound, I made them hook the speakers to a higher-end H/K receiver and they still sounded brilliant. We ended up closing the deal with v.2 100's a Studio CC, 4 Studio 20's in the rear and a Servo 15 Sub. The 100's were the beacon of that arrangement.

Since then I got married, and my parents down-sized the house and upgraded the home theater. v.3 100's were a no-brainer. I noticed real improvement in depth with the v.3's despite the excellent sound-stage of the v.2's. The new arrangement now consists of v.3 ADP-470 surrounds, SM-60R in-walls (room is too big for good mounting of Studio 20's), Studio CC-470 v3 Center Channel, and a Signature Servo. As a casual listener he won't believe me that with better amplification - currently a Sherwood 4-965 does it all - he could get so much more out of his set-up, especially the 100's (he thinks they sound heavenly as is).

I've heard better speakers than this. The signature S8's for one, but they were $3000 more. For this price I haven't seen anything come close. If you are considering Veritas-line floorstanders don't bother, despite the fact that they are great. These are superb. I would probably even buy over the 703's from B&W.

Strengths:
Excellent stage, clarity, depth, detail. Rich, and not too bright, yet crisp. Overall value is second-to-none.

Weaknesses:
Considering price-tag...NONE.

Price Paid:  $2240.00 from general audio

Summary:
Picked these up at a local retailer. Have them wired to a bryston 4b Rotel RC-972 . These speakers are reaching there 100th hour,and like previous reviews long break in time but worth the wait . Just keep sounding better. Great highs ,mids fantastic ,base is catching up with time.For the money cant be beat,in this price range. Played holly Cole It happened one night superb,handled Norah Jones come away with me,and if you like rocking blues try Jonny Lang Lie To Me These speakers dont miss a beat or note. As you can read happy buyer . Use the bi wireing or bi amp better sound.

Strengths:
Clarity ability to handled all ranges. Just keep getting better with time.

Weaknesses:
spikes bit cheesey and laminates but wht can you ask for in this price range. If sound is what you want this is it and priced well

Summary:
Well I wanted to know what HIGH end speakers were all about, well seems I found out. This speaker is simply amazing, I also got the matching 570 center channel. Really is a step up from the monitor line I had before. Even though I totally enjoyed monitor line. I always longed for something more. Well with $3000 falling into my lap I bought 100's and 570. Clear as a bell, nice ability to play strong and loud. Yet high quality enough to let you hear tiny things most speakers only dream of doing. Not for everyone cause of the price, but really hard to knock something so good for a relative little $$

Strengths:
Quality, sound, power handling really top notch.

Weaknesses:
Price is all that would really stear someone away.
