My SSP's came in Monday along with a set of SSR's for my wife. I'm breaking in the SSR's right now and I will say this... the sound does change in the first 100 hours and then slightly smooths out for the next 50 to where it settles. This is an absolutely true fact as it happened with mine as it's happening now with my wife's.
Once done, they are neither bright nor harsh nor thin BUT they are FORWARD sounding and natural. You are sitting front and center stage...first row. Picture yourself sitting in a room listening to some speakers. You are 10ft back lets say. Some speakers will present the soundstage as being in the middle of the room in front of you and probably a tad narrow because of that. Now some speakers will spread themselves across the back wall behind them... very spread out and wide but further away. One like an arena sound the other like an small coffee shop setting. The SSR's are the front table at the coffee shop.
They are intimate and as many said they are not for loud volumes. They are very transparent... feed them crap and they will sound like it... ie really bad 80's recordings LOL!! But they will absolutely shine on pretty much anything else.
I think the bass is at a perfect level for what they are trying to achieve. I have not even taken the SSP's out of the box yet to compare but I have a playlist all ready to go!!
I stated before... one of the best bang items in audio I have ever come across in 35 years of being in the game.
