I've heard the fronts from a modest M-L system that had a dynamic 6.5" cone woofer on the convex sides & a dynamic 1" dome tweeter on the convex center, but not the rears. In fact, I've never even seen the rears. Although, I've seen an advertisement for a concave center with dual symmetric outer 5.25" cones. Maybe this would sound less confused than the one I heard. The character & voice mismatched as the sound switched from dynamic monopoles to static dipoles as the sound migrated from on channel to another & having them powered by McIntosh didn't help. These did confirm my predilection that they sound like prime candidates for tube amplifiers though.

Thanks for the tip on Linn. I'll try to find a preamp to listen to.
