When I connect them to my (ironically enough) $1200 Rotel amp, they do sound better still... I'd say maybe 15% tops.

Maybe 20-25%, but probably not even that. But again, it would play cleaner when louder, and had tons more power.

I don't think I'm out of line saying your Yamaha is capturing at least 80% of what they can do....
I don't think I've ever read a post with more percent based comparisions before! As a point of reference, how do you assign such determinations?
