from crutchfield Summary:
These speakers are outstanding. The imaging is remarkable. Clarity and accuracy are outstanding. I had read that these speakers are power hungry and that the bass could be overwhelming. I find the bass is appropriate without being loose or disproportionate. The midrange and high end are fluid, crisp, and precise.
With that said, a 120 wpc receiver is perhaps enough for home theater applications but serious music listening requires more power than your average receiver is likely able to provide. Nonetheless, even nominal power will allow the listener to appreciate the musical accuracy and aural delight these speakers provide.
The most striking thing about these speakers is their versatility. They sound incredible listening to practically any genre of music. Rock,pop,classical, and ESPECIALY JAZZ are all reproduced with similar sonic purity and elegance.
Overall, these are outstanding speakers, especially if you have the amplifier power to really make them sing! Fortunately, many reviewers of these speakers got them for much less than the original retail as they were replaced by the new RTi series. At these reduced prices I doubt a better deal could be had for such a great sounding speaker-they would have been a great value even at their original retail price. Strengths:
Excellent imaging, clarity, and balance Weaknesses:
Power hungry but this does not prevent appreciation of their mellifluous sound even at low volumes
