   These are some of my favorite speakers. The bass produced by the tiny woofer has to be heard and felt to be believed. The fact that woofer that small can induce that actual "tactile" midbass feeling in your chest in a smaller room is just incredible. The ribbon tweeters are also a delight, delivering insanely detailed (but never harsh) treble.
   
   The downsides? They're a bit impractical. Dispersion from the ribbon tweeters is quite narrow. If you're not sitting in the sweet spot, you're out of luck.
   
   They also don't make good "nearfield" speakers. I initially intended to use them as computer speakers, flanking my monitor. But when sitting that close, the sound from the tweeter and woofer does not blend well.
   
   So, realistically, the ideal setup for these dudes is placed atop stands in a small room, with the listener about 6-10" away. Despite that limitation I still love them though. They're like a little sports car that makes a lousy daily driver but is so much fun you'll never part with it.
