I have owned these puppies for a few years and drive them with an Aragon 4004MK2 Power Amp and
Rotel RS 1055 Surround sound for the center and rear as well as the sub. The rear speakers are Audes monitors. I have gone through years with B&W, Theil, Von Scvhweikert, and Epos speakers. For the money, YOU CANNOT BEAT THE AUDES for realism and speaker quality. They may not be the best speaker ever made but for the price, they are truly amazing. I will live with these until I find something better for under $3000.00
