-FI really like them too, preferring them over some more expensive speakers (this info was passed on by a friend after we bought them). Well worth the £400 in my opinion. -- Impeller SqueezeBox 3 Wireless | Rotel RA-06 amplifier | Epos M12.2 speakers | Partington Super Dreadnought stands

Yes, I was under the impression biamping makes more of a difference which seemed logical. And a friend seems sure he's heard a difference in biwiring his (cheaper) equipment. -- Impeller Impeller's Profile: http
