I certainly agree with you. I own a pair of AU15's. I drive them with a modified Counterpoint 5.1 Preamp. They certainly don't provide anemic sound as has been expressed on this site. The AU15's are a pushpull 15 watt/channel 2A3 amps. They will easily drive any speaker with 90 db. or greater sensitivity. Also, George Wright is a very nice and honest person. I am sure the Mono 10's sound very similar to the AU 15's.
