Has anyone heard these? I'm working on my list of speakers that must be auditioned.

I'd also listen to the Vandersteen 3A Signature.

Add a 2Wq subwoofer for bass extension down to 20Hz -3dB.

Look into Magnepan 3.6R and Legacy Focus.

I second the suggestion to listen to Magnepan MG3.6QR. While they take a mighty power amplifier the disappearing act that the pull is nearly beyond belief and their coherence is beyond reproach. Keep in mind that they require at least 3 feet from the wall.
