I'm going to call them the Jaguar instead of the Jaguar 2000 because that "2000" name stinks:) Luckily, that's about my only real criticism of this speaker. Sonically and visually it is a striking winner. The look and feel of quality would be tough to beat at about $5000 and they're 1/2 that! These babies are HEAVY. Take care in setting them up, I nearly dropped mine.
Cold, they sounded pretty good, but I was hoping for more and I got it. I think it took a good 100+ hours to really hit their stride. I'm now using a pair of Titan II subs with the Jags, and that's the way I'm reviewing them. On their own, they are very good, but the subs not only extend the bass, but clean up the midbass as well. In my setup I do NOT hear the subs, the soundstage is wonderfully deep with good height and plenty of width. Dynamics are first rate, these babies can make you jump. Female voice is so hard to get right, Diana Krall now visits me often, and that is a good thing! The Jags also get the piano sound more convincing than virtually any other speaker I've heard.
Musically, I really can't fault this speaker setup. I've heard other systems that might play a bit louder, I've heard other systems with bigger soundstages, I've heard other systems that had more resolution, but none seemed to do them all as well as these. And most of those that could better the Jags in one area or another cost a whole lot more!
If you want a speaker that sounds like real music, looks phenominal and costs under $5000, you have got to hear these> > >
