Barefoot MM27 Active Speakers for Home Audio

I have been auditioning the MM27 monitor in my home system for the past few days and have been favorably impressed by its clear midrange, and tight and powerful bass output.

Does anyone have long-term experience with this speaker? I am wondering whether it remains impressive over time, or whether it has a "shock and awe" effect that goes away with extended listening.

Thanks for any responses.

We didn't care for them and instead, got the Focal Twin6/Solo6/Sub6 in a 5.1 config. It's the best we've heard in our room!

Sorry not to be rude, but staments like "we did not care for them" are worthless! Why did you not like them?

They were dull and lifeless. No emotion. They had phase issues as measured. Bass was overpowering and muddy. They had no soul.... We couldn't work with them.

I did find the bass to be powerful and arguably overpowering. But not muddy.

I am curious about the comment about phase issues, though. The vocals on the MM27 definitely project more than other speakers I have used. Could it be that the speakers accomplish this by the midrange being out of phase? What did you find in your measurements with respect to phase issues?
