ARS Acoustica rank on some best lists. Any else?

I have talked to a couple different people now who have heard the ARS ACOUSTICA SYSTEM MAX. Both have said it's the best (bar none) they've heard. Before now, I've never seen any reviews or heard of this company. Maybe I blinked and missed them. Any background or opinions on these would be interesting since they have my curiosity.
Also, if you interested, check out this site for a review on the ARS Acousctica System Max: http://www.high-endaudio.com/rec.html#Spk

They are not intended to be full range speaker.
They really shine when paired with an Entec class type subwoofer.

I heard these speakers at the Stereophile show in 1996 in NY. They were called the ARS Gravitas Max. They look like the Wilson Watt Puppies. They were being played on Lamm Amps.
The speakers were fast with a nice midrange and the bass was fast and tight. It was top notch speakers.
They were designed by Irv Eisenberg

I have heard them during the HiFi Show in London twice, and then in the friend's system.

They were driven by Trilogy 958 amps, and at the time I thought they sounded fantastic ... much better than the WP of the.

Here's a pic of the ARS Gravitas Max.
If i remember correctly, they used three 9 inch woofers;
2 in the front and one in the back.
