Own them for over a year ..they are phenomenal ..it is critical if you are using them near field.. like i am my drivers are towed in so the sides of speakers are not visible 63 inches from ears ..and 63 inches 1.6 meters between the drivers centres ..not towed in ..low end drivers firing outwards When moved an inch or so out of alignment they still sound great ..but not magnificent ! This does not mean the soundstage completely collapses when your off a bit or not in the ideal golden Listening spot .. they just really perform to the next level ....i recommend a tape measurer and a person to help ..position them .. At wider distances between speakers this characteristic becomes non existent
Yes agree totally with the above advice and assessment. Need at least 100W+ as they are not that efficient but excel in vocals and bass is very tight and punchy.
Would love to see a review of the W8's!
can you link to the review you mentioned in the video? Thanks.
