How do they sound to you?



I don't know yet, my M30s are still packed. I'm currently renovating my listening room, 2 more weeks and i should be done.
Having owned and loved Rogers LS5/9 for about 10 years, i should not be dissappointed. If they are true to the BBC heritage you can expect a very transparent, accurate and dynamic sound with amazing soundstage which makes the speakers really disappearing, opening a nice window into the recording.

I have a very small room, especially by US standard, and these kind of speakers ("bookshelf" monitors) are the best you can find for small room.

Unfortunately i have also noticed that many times these small speakers are "underpowered", well i mean not about pure wattage but quality ones. You should not hesitate to pair them with the best electronics, even if they cost much more than the speakers. In the same way of what can be done with Sennheiser HD650.

My ears seem to prefer Dynaudio drivers. I'd recommend the Contour S 1.4, Confidence C1, or Special 25.
