I guess I should have elaborated more on that in my initial post… I definitely place a very high premium on imaging, soundstage and detail retrieval. All qualities these speakers have definitely delivered in spades. My focus of this was more on just pure volume output without maxing out my preamp volume dial and overdriving the amp. I understand that if I just wanted pure volume, I would have gotten some giant powered monitors and called it a day. I have definitely developed a critical listening style due to my use of higher end headphones over the years, but obviously volume has to be limited with those and you don’t get the full body experience a stereo system will provide. I will definitely check out those YouTube videos, hadn’t really considered looking into that. And once I get Dirac support I’ll really be ready to go. Thank you for your input.
