In case anyone is wondering, I am still enjoying the hell out of the BMRs I purchased after this review. I am feeding them with various music players on an HTPC running Dirac into a Schiit Modius DAC via USB into a Peachtree Nova 300. No complaints and no desire to upgrade anything.
Even my wife, who is not into hifi at all, thoroughly enjoys them from the kitchen.
To punctuate how much I like these speakers a little more, I sold or gave away ALL of my bookshelf speaker collection after living with these speakers for a few months. No regerts.
