I had a listen to these the other day, they are quite simply stunning. The photos don't do them justice either, they are far more domesticaly acceptable in the flesh.
You get all that horny goodness in the mid range and treble, then this really tight thunderous bass kicks in. Had I the space and the cash, they would have come straight home with me.
I've heard a lot of expensive speakers down the years, and honestly, these beat pretty much all of them. Including Rockports, Wegg's, Wilsons and other such exotica.
The phrase "Wanna wanna wanna" springs to mind.

I've been looking at horns for some time now, not found anything that has knocked the Wilsons off their perch yet though.
Jack's kindly agreed to bring a pair of Marvels along to the bake this Saturday, so we can have a listen

Yeah, I've had a listen to the smaller of the horns and they are superb.

Hi,
There is a review of these speakers in the new issue of Hi-Fi News.
SCIDBThere are two types of music. Music I own and music I don't.

Thanks Dean, review came out just as I expected, if you're looking for super acurate studio monitor sound look elsewhere, if you're in the camp that likes what horns do, these are absolutely worth a listen.
