I'm not really an audio nut so I can't "describe" how they sound. I love the way they sound though. I can crank up the volume pretty loud and no distortion. Now, this is using the Soundline speakers. I can't vouch for the higher end speakers but I heard Don's setup (he's running Profi Vanadiums) and he had that thing LOUD with absolutely no distortion. These are amazing speakers.

Dude, all of the threads that you have posted here have reeked of the same message:

Bottom line is, you are going to get what you pay for. If you keep looking around for crap deals, you will get crap sound.

You didn't, it's called paraphrasing.
