"It appears my intelligence circuits have melted"
Kef Coda 7s circa 1997 - fun little two-way boxes I bought for a friend's first system where they worked fine with some entry-level Jap integrated.
Tried them on a big Chord amplifier - wow. Everything just came together, especially separation, impact and top-to-bottom extension.
Same experience with Mission 760i performing way beyond what I expected (with obvious caveats about volume and deep bass) but not as listenably sweet as the Kefs.
KEF coda 8 are also very good, and Mission 731 (731i etc).
