I'm now the very proud owner of a pair of these beauty's.  

I think the WHF review is pretty much spot on, highlighting the base as a slight weakness in an otherwise fabulous pair of floor standers.

I updated/upgraded from a pair of Mission 752 Freedom's and the most notable difference is in the top and mid range, which I adore.

For £750 I'd question them 'a little' (but not much) for either Stereo or 5.1 usage. For anything under £600 they are a great speaker.  For what I paid they are a stunning bargain.
