Yes, they're absolutely brilliant, revealing speakers. They have to be used right against a wall or don't bother, though. They work best on open-frame type stands and are wonderfully fast. The bass doesn't go deep but is very fast and agile. A classic amp pairing would be a good integrated from the likes of Exposure, Naim, or Ion systems. Exposure or Naim amps would still be a good choice, as would something like a Heed or Rega.
