It was a toss up between these and the What Hi-Fi recommended Q-Acoustics 2010s. I took a chance as these were matched to the amp, 1kg heavier than the Qs and £40 cheaper. I don't regret it, they sound great, and you would probably only notice any difference if the two brands were played side-by-side - and even then it would be a matter of taste. For such small units they are incredibly heavy and produce detailed punchy drums and bass. Very deep bass is improved by connecting a sub-woofer, but they sound pretty good on their own.
