They are not bass heavy at all. I'm told they are fairly accurate, and I liked them a lot when I first got them 3 years ago, but over time I've decided that they are decidedly non-musical. I think they'd work better in a pure mastering environment, albeit a somewhat low end mastering environment. I must say that I really don't enjoy non-critical listening on them nearly as much as my stereo which is a Thiel setup. The units originally cost something like $1100 or so. I got them on closeout at Zzounds (IIRC) for about $375, amp included. Choose carefully and then enjoy. - Mark
