One thing to keep in mind that I have found is that they sound far better paired with other Reference Premiere model speakers (I know, it sounds like an obvious point). I have been going through my setup and upgrading different sets at a time from the Reference line to Reference Premiere and the experience is far more robust with everything matched up more as it was intended to be.
For those looking to fill a room with stereo sound, this deal is fantastic. Two of these will more than do the job. A subwoofer is great but if you are buying for music, don't feel like you need to run and buy one before listening to these on their own first. They may surprise you.
My pair were originally in black but I customized them with a real wood veneer in cherry finish and a leather vinyl wrap across the front. I also replaced the original MDF bases with real hardwood. It was an involved process but I've been very happy with the results. However, I also have the RP-150m in the stock cherry vinyl finish that these would come in and it is nothing to knock. It is overly smooth and plastic feeling IMO but wouldn't be a deal breaker for me at all on the smaller speakers but I could see how it might be a bit much having that material on the larger RP-260f towers.
Overall, this is an excellent price and the fact that it is shipped right to your door is a huge bonus compared to the only deal I've seen beat it (NFM - B&M).
Great post, OP. Repped
