... I'm now using the A100s in the bedroom - not too refined, but fun nonetheless.
The entire line was fairly ballsy, bassy, and not too aggressive on top - SEAS soft-dome. Not a bad R&R speaker on the c.eap.
Main drawbac. is the tubbiness/fuzziness in the bass.
It's not really about the audio, but some fond memories of the 'ole high sc.ool years!
