@bdp24 Good to know, thank you.
I wonder if @mitch4t ended up buying both the Eminents and the Rythmiks? What are his thoughts?
The Eminents are notoriously inefficient. Before them I had Polk LSiM705's with sensitivity of 88dB/W/m. Room calibration set them at -7dB (from -12dB to +12dB). The Eminents are rated 84dB/W/ml. So, naturally I assumed that auto calibration will set them at -3dB to create the same sound level, to compensate for low sensitivity. Guess what. It set it at +7dB, a whole 14dB louder! You need a lot of juice to power them, the 75W minimum power rating isn't realistic. I had a 600W@8ohm power amp and it barely did the job. They also took around 6-7 months to break in.
