They’re definitely on my audition list. Aside from Special 40, not too much comes to mind around this price that I can think of but yeah there’s a ton at 2 and change. I would be curious to know about what’s inside these and I imagine at 3k they may have skimped on parts, but that demo was very nice, they could handle really good components.
Soundstage Hifi did a review - seemed fairly linear. With the 1500hz crossover you should really get a lot from vocals and emphasis in mids. The higher crossover designs always leave me a bit wanting with voices when it’s over 3khz.
