As an audio engineer I had some of the best electronics and speakers including some
that won best of show at CES.
I had Legacy Focus ( I lived close to the factory and got a great discount from a friend that worked there), VMPS RM50 series 2 and Tower II SE, and now have Acoustech PL-980s which have replaced the Tower II SEs.
I got tired of moving 325 & 125 pound speakers , Adcom amps, electronic xover’s, etc around and brought the Acoustech’s back to Mexico where I now live.

At 98db efficiency the quickness and dynamics have to be heard to be believed.
Imaging, frequency response and overall sound are as good as anything on the list above.
At $660 a pair they are a steal.
I use a NOBsound/ Douk Audio 5 input (AptX BT, Aux, Coax, Optical, USB ) digital amp with 55 w RMS continuous/ 70/ch peak which is more than enough to fill my 4 X 5 X 3.3 m tall listening room to dangerous levels.

Since you can get them from Amazon with return privileges why not give them a listen?
I firmly believe you will choose them if you set them up the way BIC advises.
(Front of the speakers 18-24″ from the back wall, speakers pointed to cross 2-3 feet in front of your listening position.)
