normaly I would take these reviews with a grain of salt, but since I have had my s2s (cherry finish, drop dead goregous) and c3 center for about 2 weeks I have to say I share the reviewers excitment. not only are they goregous looking but they sound incredible. I came from studio 100s v2 cc and adps and the sigs are a significant step up. I am currently using a ref 50 along with a rotel 1075 very nice so far. I am having a pro audio calibration with an eq and room treatments done friday so that should help out on the low end
I tested a lot of speakers when I sold my studio set up and I ended up coming back to the best bang for the buck speakers (Imo) and I got just what I wanted a great sounding speaker that looks as good as it sounds
I own a pair of S8, a C5 and 2 pairs of S2. I'm coming from a full Reference v3 set-up, and I always said that the Signatures are a great step-up over the References.
