Those old Gem speakers are fantastic. A close friend, and one who's system I consider a reference point, had those powered by some Great Northern Sound Modded Audio Research Classic 120s and paired with a set of Velodyne 18" subs (set with a very low crossover). His room was purpose build to the golden ratio, is well conditioned and his sound is amazing. Note that he has his pulled out almost to the middle of his listening room with the subs on the front wall.

That said, he just replaced the Gems with the new Revel M126Be speakers and he is very happy. Speaker technology does get better and better and Revel does have a great engineering department.
