    Well a quick update and only fault I've been able to criticise the eddy's is a small dull spot on the baffle I could see from my seat. Needless to say I took some carnauba wax over it and it's gone.
    So what can I say.. A very special speaker that proves my mantra. Fix the speakers out and the rest is easy.
    Also having the tweeter adjustment and my power amp monos having ability to adjust each side means its easy to get perfect sound when not square to both speakers.

    Speakers are the most serious choice you can make. The coming months and years will decide for you but I feel sure you'll keep them for a while

    I can't get rid of mine. I love them to bits in the knowledge I have heard the world's best over and over again. Flaws yes, but everything has them. At any price.
