I found these speakers as a great deal for the money. I have them paired up with my Denon AVR 1601. The tone is definately a warm one, with crisp highs in my case. I definately recommend these speakers

I have just purchased the speakers (105/3 Reference, rosewood finish) 2 weeks ago. Real steal on Ebay at 620€. Went to England (I live in France) to pick them up and took the Eurostar back. Fun trip that was with over 80kg (180 pds) of speakers to...
