Anyone heard the Opera Quinta?

I was curious as to feedback of the newer Opera Quinta (tweeter and 3 6.5" Seas drivers), front leatherette. Anyone heard it? Any reviews floating around out there? Good for a medium-sized (430sq foot) room? I am looking for a detailed, yet "musical" speaker, full-range, with accurate midrange and bass. I have always liked the SF Cremona, but it is out of my price range, as is the Divina from Opera.

Just ordered a pair; will be getting in a few days. I'll report back, but also wondering what others have experienced with them.

I'll be using the Quintas with 50w tube amps (AES Sixpacs) in a fairly large space augmented with a pair of subwoofers. I wouldn't have considered the Quintas for this environment without the subs as I don't think they would be able to fill the space well at higher SPL's without them. Hopefully this won't be an issue with the subs.

I've only had the Quintas a few days now, and so far really like what I'm hearing. One of my Sixpac amps started malfunctioning, so I connected my Wright Mono 10 amps which are 10W 2A3 based tube amps and I was very pleasantly surprised! I didn't think they would have enough power to drive the Quintas, but they seem to (I am using an external crossover set at 60Hz, where the bottom end is filled by a pair of Entec subs, so the Mono 10 amps driving the Quintas are not being forced to produce low bass). I really like the non-harsh/metallic sounding tweeter and the slightly laid back character. They seem very non-fatiguing to me so far.
