I received my pair of March Sointuva's in Sheoak wood, after a long wait of nearly three months.
With a certain thread here posted during the wait I was a bit worried.
These worries have been neutralised.
The build quality from what I can tell is tremendous. I did notice a couple of minor imperfections here and there in the final finish, but I am not disappointed. They look even better than I had imagined. The sound is wonderful, even in my non-ideal setup of being behind a desk with the speakers stand mounted a few metres behind it.
I really wanted JBL LSR6332's due to the notion of bigger is better and they look cool to me. I still would like to hear them but the Sointuva's are lacking nothing in output capability.
These Sointuva's are far beyond my JBL Studio 530's.
The bass on these is more intense and goes far deeper. I still will be getting a couple of subs later on.
Vocals cut right through to the front. Guitar solos scream at me. I hear every icy detail of the cymbals, every texture to the voice, and anger from the bass. Everything sounds like it is in its own discrete angle out from the speakers.
Nothing is offensive except perhaps the bass, BUT this is due to my room - perhaps due to the wooden flooring everywhere. I am moving into a room with carpet at some point.
Now I need to learn room EQ with REW, invest in a measurement microphone and likely some bass traps to clean the sound up.
