So, not to be a bummer, but just saying it like I see it and perhaps my example is not totallly relevant but: I've got some 500's that I have compared side by side with many different speakers and they just .... don't ... sound ... better than average. They look fantastic but in the end they are just two way speakers with a small primary driver and an huge heavy impressive looking package.... just saying....sorry
honest opinions are always welcome. Especially since I may be pouring 100 bucks or so into a set of speakers I won't enjoy. Thanks for your input.
I have 2 pair of Yamaha NS-690's, Epicure Model 20's, Polk Audio Monitor 10's, and JBL L46's, all sitting dormant, so I don't necessarily hurt for good speakers.
