Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers?

They seem to be marketed as the Roth Oli 50 in the UK.

The Roth Oli 50 is not well reviewed.

I'd tend to be suspicious of a comparatively complex design at that pricepoint, but your ears are the test (though not of trouble free use over time, of course).

If the Sinclairs image with the Gallo 3.5s that is very high praise, in my book, since I think the 3.5s have spooky-good imaging and sound staging (I suspect the height issue is tweakable). I think the 3.5s an outstanding value at their pricepoint; if the Sinclairs are competitive at a third of a good street price on the 3.5s, they are a stunningly good deal, IME.

Put that way, sounds a little too good to be true, eh?

Understand being leery of a new company. However all products start out new at some point of course. Being made in Canada and respected shops carrying them would ease my concern.
Reading the specs online would peek my interest. Making your audio choice based on following the herd logic is flawed in my book. Let your ears and eyes be the judge. You may have found a real gem.

fwiw I think a sensitivity of 92 is a big plus and could help pay for the speaker if you can save money on a lower powered amp.

Plus, you seem to like them.

Go ahead be our Guinea Pig and bite!

good luck

What counts is that YOU like them, not if we do. Chances are very great indeed that none of us on these pages have ever heard these speakers, yet there are lots of comments about them. If I were you, I'd forget about those comments since its YOU who will be listening to them. I would try to listen to them with the components that you already have.. to hear if the speakers mate well with them. If you like them, enjoy them more in your own living room.
