Speaker Art is no longer in business but has a great following. This was Bob Gross’s top of the time top of the line speakers. I knew Bob and he said this was it. This was the speaker to have. Hate to let go just to many speakers and this pair is very heavy so I have a problem moving them. They are small but solid and thick cabinets. Does require some power to drive them correctly but sound fantastic. Some say they compete with any speakers out there for under $50K – Possibly the best sounding monitor speakers: most revealing, realistic, involving distortion free speakers ever made.
