I was surprised by their weight and sturdy build construction.

They're solid, well-built and possess accurate, monitor-like sound

It think many reviews here consider the build to be good because they are so heavy

Had been pondering a much pricier setup (a pair of passive B&Ws or Sonus Fabers - which are subjectively speaking in a wholly different league - with an Emotiva amp) for vinyl, but decided at the very least these would be worth ordering to check out, and possibly return if they weren't up to snuff
