you could hear her body move in the air. She lent over and squeezed; that sound will live with me, for eternity... You could almost smell the reality - Umm... Caviarteria

I got them for about £100 on eBay and installed them on a shelf in the kitchen corner cupboard. They still raise a smile whenever I have them on - it's the best sound in the house at the moment. They have been abused at parties for hours on end, with the whole metal enclosure/heat sinks running very warm at the end of the night they never give up. AC/DC flat out - nothing wrongfoots them. I am also getting hooked on the sound from (relatively) shitty iPod systems. This range from Sony for example. http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/made-for-ipod/2/4

Talking of cheapies, I just got a pair of Behringer (I know, I know) Truth 3031A because I've been wanting to hear these and the special offer price was too hard to resist.
Not warmed up yet but will do a review. Not really intending to keep them so look out for an unbeatable classified offer in due course

Anyone heard Blue Sky's larger monitors. Wish they'd have an option for grilles on the bloody things.

Looks like the real thing. But I bet they sounds better with your eyes closed.

heard lots of the little sub sat systems that are ok.....very clear, detailed and analytical.....but i found them very unnatural....quite a few drum and bass, rave and nu metal producers use them.
the biggies could be interesting though. prob more integrated than the sub systems.
good value set up for what you get.

they are indeed, and with the pair of hs10w subs, they are outstanding.

Don't even think about using the "auto" power setting on these. It puts the speakers into standby when not in use. Nice idea. However it sometimes does it during quiet passages
Tim
Ok, sounds good.

One thing I will say for the humble Behringers: they are OK without a sub, better in that respect than the AVI ADM 9.1s.
AVI is not good when it comes to specs; but we do know that the 9.1 has a 6.5" woofer and "bass extension better than – 6dB @ 60Hz".
The B3031A has an 8 ¾" woofer and the calibration graph that comes with the speakers shows no significant drop-off until below 40Hz.
That extra 20Hz range makes a big difference.
