Morning all,
Yep, got it spot on: The speakers I have always wanted! Trust me, these babys rock the house like nothing else! They have a quoted 95db sensitivity, but when tested by Hi-Fi World, they hit 99db with just a watt a metre away! Then you think about their ridiculous power handling which reaches into the 300watts zone and their absolutely pin-point accurate sound, it's no wonder the seller is putting them at £800!
My favourite fact about them is that David Price of HiFi World said that if there was only one pair of speakers on the planet, it would have the be the E90s!
And what is that awful pair of "Realistics"? They are nasty and remind me of the early-70s JBL speakers which were pretty wooly to say the least! Who wants one 15" woofer and a tweeter when you can have two 12" woofers, a mid-range dome, a tweeter and a "super" tweeter with a nice horn-loading system on it??? Not very "Realistic" value...
ps. thankyou for resizing the photo Andrew; I couldn't get photoshop to open so I couldn't resize and then upload to flickr. Cheers!
