Whatever the eccentricities of the T27's construction, they sure work for me. My current speakers are KEF Reference 101, with the T27. I'm constantly struck by their lack of "edginess" which is often called "accuracy". I can easily hear the sweetness of David Oistrakh's high notes contrasted to the steeliness of Heifetz, so the accuracy is there, but never sacrifices the music's beauty. And they're 35 years old! Which also means, sadly, I should start thinking about the xover caps... dammit.
