    He-he!! I dont think he is a football fan.

    Bass is pretty impressive for a 4" driver and they are very sensitive. I am unfortunately unable to measure the specs.

    I think they are 86 db according to the site.However I think the problem is the max rating at 30W.According to my calculations they could not go more than 98 db flat out.Now that would probably not sound very nice as I am sure the distortion will be quite high especially as they have to go low as well.I have not heard them so it is all a bit theoretical but I guess in a small room playing at around 90-92 db they should sound pretty good but that is a medium listening level.More than that would be a problem I should think.

    Well Protos

    I have been listening to them for a few hours now and they most definitely have potential. They will never be power-towers but they do sound very musical and can plat at room-filling levels without a problem.

    Are they stable?? I mean why that tall ??? Is it the hight works somehow in sound??
    It seems to me if you leave the window open and a light wind blows...they fall down...

    They will be very stable when they are bolted to the plinths. They are in total 2014mm high. And fairly stable...

    Good idea but not necessary. The plinths are by nature very heavy.

    I am loving the sound I am getting from them!
