I spent considerable time on the phone with John asking him how the speakers would work with my amplifier (Moscode 401HR at the time), mentioning the decibel levels at which I listen, my room size, etc. Despite the due diligence, the driver blew.
I'm sure he was as disappointed as I was, but the overall experience was not positive, nor was it worth more time invested, IMO.
I heard the Ohms "back in the day", and I recall them sounding very special.
