If for no other reason than to expand your points of reference, I recommend that you audition a pair. As for me, they forever altered my speaker preference towards planars. I first heard Tympanis (no longer in the line) back in '74 and was amazed at their ability to create a lifelike image size with a unique clarity as compared to the box speakers of the day. Tri-amped TIIIs remain a very impressive sounding system to this day! I later found my soul-mate with another flavor of planar, the full range electrostat.

They won't thump at the bottom if that's what you like and they do require a few feet behind them for optimum results. As for amplifiers, they offer a very benign load. Good luck!
