nice review,
I bought them and, as stated, they are great. Did i understand correctly in the review that the adm's need soms time playing before really opening up (like headphones?).
The sound reminds me a bit of the active speakers from philips, many years ago. (dss900 or someting). THe reviews at those days as wel: too cheap for what u get (they costed around 4000 euros, including cd player, controller, dat player etc.). It flopped, philips not having the high end audio name ;-) But they surely seemed to be correct that active speakers are the future...
