I completed them today and hooked them up to the Ella amp. My first impression, with no breakin whatsoever, is they sound very "shouty" and bright. A quick check of one speaker with the Radio Shack meter set at the listening position indicates very uniform response from 500hz to 3khz. Below that they fall off about 5 to 8dB, with a rise between 80 & 60hz and falling off quickly below that. Above 3khz they rise a few dB, especially between 4 and 8khz. I understand Lowther and Fostex drivers tend to sound strident for the first 100 hours or so. The same must be true of the Audio Nirvana drivers, so I will not report back until they have some time on them or I have heard a dramatic change.
