Don't spend that money yet. I'm hoping they will go back on sale for Xmas. Fingers crossed. Didn't listen to music last night, but used them for my dvr shows and boy are these are not to be missed even at $109 a pair and a steal of the year.
"My name is slipperybidness, and I'm an audioholic!"
They are a
clear step up from the P363 that I replaced with the TP260.
Clarity is a good word, I absolutely find dialogue is easier to understand on these vs. the P363 and that was one of my big goals to replace these.
OK, OK, I know a good deal when I hear one! I have been keeping my eyes open for good speakers that I could live with for a long time, but also at a very good price (dare I say, "cheap"). Before these came along, the new RBH impression series was high on my list. But, even at the normal RBH sale price, I would have been able to cover only 1 room, while I am all set now on the DCM! The only other speakers really in my sights were the JBL studio line.
And, once KEW clued me into going directly to their website and using a black friday code, the savings were even better! And, that cherry finish is nice and matches my living room perfectly so it was an easy sell for the WAF.
This is my haul:
4x TP160
2x TP160C
2x TP260
2x TFE60
1x TFE60C
2x TFE630LCR (in ceiling)
We're talking about ALL of this for the neighborhood of $940! Delivered to my door 2 days after I placed each order!
I did have some damage on one of the towers from Fedex, but it was on the back corner, the speaker sounds fine, and rather than mess with insurance claims he refunded me $25 and called it even.
I really couldn't be happier, and you can't beat that price/performance and delivery time.
By the way, in a PM it was indicated to me that a little toning down on the tweets would likely make the TP160 match my Alexis Audio / Philharmonitors very well.
