The tw0 10" woofers are in a sealed cabinet. So bass is big, but extremely tight. The D'appolito array of the two 5" midrange drivers around the tweeter help enhance the centre stage, and careful set up will producte a resolute and layered depth. This speaker works best in a large room. Smaller rooms may need some treatment to cope with the pressure and speed. The better your source and amplification, the better they will sound.
