SOME REVIEWS FOUND ONLINE:User Review 1 for reference :
The bass output isn't overwhelming like on many other speakers - it's tightly controlled and perfect in quantity for every genre of music. The bass extension is the best I've ever heard.
The new High Energy EMIT and EMIM drivers are spectacular. The new EMIT is definitely better than the older Kappa and RS series ones. It's sweeter yet more detailed - an extremely difficult feat. I honestly can't imagine a speaker with better highs. The EMIM is really the star of the show though - I can't believe how much better it is than the Polydomes on the Kappa's and older RS's. All of the excellent properties of the EMIT are carried down to the EMIM. Vocals, horns, guitars - everything - sound spectacular. The EMIM is so transparent that on a good recording I feel like I'm in the studio and the musicians are playing in front of me - but not too close. The sense of depth is excellent - something I've never experienced before.
The best thing I can say about the mid-bass coupler is that it is entirely unobtrusive. I never even notice it, it is so well integrated with the EMIM and woofer. The lower midrange and upper bass is full and "right" sounding, never overwhelming. The only time it ever sticks out is with recent poorly recorded albums that have a mid-bass hump to make it seem as if there is more bass on cheap speakers. That's not a fault of the speaker though - just a result of the poor mastering that is demanded by users of iPod earbuds and laptop speakers.
The footprint of the speakers is nice, too. They're actually quite small, accentuated by the trapezoidal shape. They look awesome - the wood grain is rich even on my matte black speakers. The built quality far exceeds the Kappa's - these are solid speakers. The binding posts are solid metal, unlike the plastic-capped posts on every other speaker I've seen. The grilles are perfect. The rubber surrounds are great as they're still supple almost 20 years later, the foam in the rear EMIM diffuser has been replaced by me.
As I said before, these are easily the best speakers I've ever heard. The Kappa's are good too, but these are just on another level. The imaging is spectacular - In a big room with lots of space behind and around them I know they will be even better. Same thing goes for the Amps - I don't have the money for a Krell or Levinson or McIntosh, but the Onkyo M-508 or Sony TA-N77ES do an AMAZING job of powering them. I highly recommended them for amping the Renaissance 90s on a budget, but I'd love to hear a truly high-end amp powering them.

The more I listen to these speakers the more I can't believe how good they sound. They are truly the best I've ever heard. They excel in their openness, 3D sound staging and pinpoint imaging. These speakers incorporate not only the famous (and improved) emit tweeter but the emim mid range that significantly contributes to the incredible sound. The emim is what separates this speaker from other speakers not using planar midrange drivers. The bass reaches very low frequencies, very tight and musical, but is not very loud, booming or overpowering. The bass demonstrates quality not quantity. They are very well built not allowing unwanted resonance from flexing. The speakers have that audiophile look and sound.
