They're too small Mike. They look a bit lost there. You should have bought a pair of Ardens.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Ard-ens not needed, when an 'Ard-on' will do...
Never mind, Mike, I'm sure that the Berkleys will sound good enough to give you an 'Ard-on'

I heard these at the Hifi News show in (I think) Windsor a couple of years ago. Sounded pretty good as far as a show demo can do. The one's I heard had what I would call a "Fiat 500" livery (go faster stripes and nice toning paint job)My Mighty Heco's

Please excuse the lack of decor, we are waiting for the plasterer to come & skim our walls & ceilings before we start to beautify the place!
These are a DIY build, a transmission line speaker based loosely around PMC GB1's but with better drivers/tweeters/components, & they sound fab.
