I've had a couple of pairs, bought black ones cheap to try, then burnt the budget to a minty pair of Walnut beauties.

No other speaker has such fast and controlled bass, true, there's not huge amounts, but the punch is addictive.

I had a go active, but won a foo filled Audio42 passive crossover which I thought was better. There's a thread on Pinkfish about DIY crossover build.

Bit of triggers brush, I changed the tweeters to Scanspeak D2905/7000, they needed some woodwork to fit, but Hiquphon OW1's are a drop in replacement and upgrade.

They like an upgrade, they'll play with a Nait 1, but sang on my Naim/Avondale pre/power
