I've heard those Reference speakers as well, I have to admit they sounded good and the price was very low. I can't say anything else either negative or positive about them, but I couldn't find any reviews online for them, or any info on the manufacturer. To me that's a warning sign but it might not mean anything at all. If you like the speakers and the price and warranty are right then let us know how they sound in a week when you bring them home and dial them in
Also don't let the title "audio alchemist" fool you. It is in relation to my number of posts, not my expertise. Look for the title "moderator" or above before you take anyone's word for something but your own.
2001 has higher end gear than FS or BB, but I find the staff pretty pushy. I'm glad if I was any help, and I hope this turns out to be a great experience for you.
