Footloose,

Since emptec is local to me and i never heard them b4 i set up a demo for this morning. For $500 these are really good sounding speakers, i was impressed i took my 14 yr old daughter with me and she really liked them also. they look very nice in either red burl or black ash. while their i had an opportunity to chat with the owner, he started the company 32 years ago. emptec is a off shoot of rbh and is distributed from the same facility.
bottom-line is that should really enjoy the speakers if you choose to try emptec, btw they have a 30 day trial period if you choose not to keep them.
