Original owner and picked up in person at my local dealer. Fit and finish is amazing for the cost of these. Lots of compliments on the color and appearance followed by disbelief in the sound field these monitors produce. Used in a medium size room with a quick, articulate sub with outstanding results. The S-520 remind me of the ProAc Response 1SC in almost every way and offer a great deal of that magic at a much lower cost. If you have the freedom to pull them out from the front wall a bit and move up into the near-field position they are fabulous at portraying an expansive soundstage and nail the timbre, pace and timing. They also performed amazingly well in my office desk top system driven by a 15wpc 6V6 integrated/headphone amp. Another affordable gem that has stood the test of time with me and held a special place in my heart, but alas I have too much gear again and hate to see them sitting idle instead of creating musical joy. Pics came out weird here but I can email them if interested in seeing hi-rez Agree with a lot of this review -
