I bought these as they were competitively priced with the new ELAC Andrew Jones Debut speakers. The fit and finish on one of the speakers was not up to Elac standards. I let Amazon know of the problem and they took care of me to my satisfaction.
The speakers took a few hours to break in and I am now using them as my back/surround speakers as I bought the sister BS73 speakers. They perform very admirably and I am quite pleased. They are on the warm side. I thought that was the speaker at first, but I moved them from one room to another, changing from a Marantz 50w/channel AVR to a Denon 100w/channel avr and they were much brighter with the Denon. You may need to fine tune them for yoru listening style, but they are excellent value speakers and I would recommend them to others.
My only complaint is that the new price is much higher than what I paid and much higher than what they charge for the Debut Elacs.
