I did indeed hook the speakers up to a solid state amp and they had about 7 days of continous use before I sat down to listen closely. Not, I hasten to add with Tupac (whatever that is!) but with a system burn-in disc which exercises the whole frequency range evenly, perhaps I'll re-visit this and give them a bit more of a workout. They are still changing both in performance and tone, which is why the room treatment isn't going to be permanently installed just yet.

It was (and is) an interesting project, but I'm not convinced they will be my long term speakers as I do feel the are perhaps too large (not physically but sonically) for the room - time will tell.
