Received the speakers today. Initial impressions follow. :) First of all, I'd have to say that I'm not 100% accustomed to the "audiophile" market. I've grown tired of my old speakers (Acoustic Research) and decided it was time to step up. Most of the listening I've done so far has been in...

I've listened to Polks and Klipsch at my local CC, and liked the sound of both; I was considering returning to look for an open box special of sorts when I started doing research, and stumbled across both of these companies. I've sent a friend Marc's way (he ended up buying a set of Take 5's...
Bleh. I just posted a very long topic, with tons of details, and it was not allowed because I can't post a URL to a picture of my living room. :| Here's the synopsis, since I can't write up the whole thing again. I'm upgrading my system: Denon 3802, Velodyne CT-120, Acoustic Research...
