The plan was to refinish (they are solid mahogany on the front/sides), re-wire and then sell these ruark's on, but enjoying their sound far too much. Really impressed by their low volume ability, everything just sounds so effortless. Always avoided a floor stander in a small (ish) room as assumed they would just dominate and boom away, but couldn't be further from what these are doing for me.
At low to medium volumes the very low frequencies (below 50hz) and subharmonic stuff are amazing but not overpowering, had to move the sofa a few feet away from the wall to find the sweet spot which looks a bit daft but worth it for the brain massage.
Not the best things I've ever heard, but don't have the ability to spend £££ on gear, and the room doesn't lend itself to going crazy with it anyways, much more than happy right now :D
