Posting on this topic after a bit over a year of owning the 102's. While I did not spend a ton of time doing detail listening, I think they sound great. Really good stage presence and you can get great sound out of them regardless of where you are at in the room. Definitely New England vintage sound. Worth every penny and since I got these I'm always looking for those offerings within driving distance, but they are very few people who knows about this brand and probably even less own them. Curious to hear how good a pair of 103 ones sound.
