I know you have the insider information. I'm days away from from ordering, but wanted to pick your brain.

1. Can these pups rock when called upon? Now, I'm not lookin to tear down the walls or anything--but I do like to crank it once in awhile.

2. How would Dynaudio Focus 140's compare in the mid-range?

3. Right now, it's pretty much down to these 2. I realize bookshelf/floorstander, Steve, where's your brain?...forget about that comparison--tell me what you think of the 2 in strict musicality terms. I'm ready to go either way. I'm a rock, jazz, pop, occasional classical listener.

Any help is highly appreciated, auditioning is not an option in "dusty town, Az."
