The craftsmanship of the Catalanes is impeccable, with a gorgeous natural wood Bubinga finish. They are a perfect match for Tube Amps! They excel at resolving delicate or snappy details. They are dynamically well-balanced and extremely quick, with sensational mids and trebles that are neutral, transparent, and very detailed, with no apparent ceiling or roll-off. The lowest notes produced by an acoustic bass are tight, quick, and seamlessly integrated. The sound stage appears boundless.These come from a smoke-free, no-kids home. I will consider the best offers.Great sounding speakers and super efficient 94dB! It has excellent controlled bass and a fantastic mid-range.We are selling only due to moving out of state.
