Anyone ever heard or read about JM Labs Cobalt 806

They are good, but there is a lot of competition in the 600 dollar range that will compete. Keep in mind too, if you are a "normal" audiophile, you will be concerned about resale, and they could be real tough to get rid of since Audio Advisor has them for 600.

If I am buying them for $600 to begin, why should I be any more concerned about resale than I would be buying anything that wasn't used?

Re competition I would love to hear any thoughts on fatigue free monitors which could be used on the desktop.

I demoed a pair of ATC's recently which were fabulous, but more like $4,000.

Can anyone comment on the signature or character of the Cobalts?

Thank you for any ideas.

When you buy an already discounted product, resale is always terrible. Meaning, if you wanted to get rid of them, you'd have to go to the 400-425 dollar range, I'm guessing. Maybe you aren't concerned about resale, I don't know.

Paradigm Studio 20v3 is a fatigue free speaker that does many, many things well including bass response and can be had for slightly over the 600 dollar mark. Better resale, and in my opinion a better speaker (I've owned both)

As far as signature of the cobalts, I've noticed less bass than the reviews mention. The midrange is sweet and the top end is extended. I wouldn't call them bright, but they are far from nuetral as well.
