Soundsmith monitors - Opinions wanted

I read over at AA that these monitors knocked the sox off a few visitors at the Axpona show over in Jacksonville last weekend. From those who have had some personal listening experience can you give me some idea of the strengths and weaknesses of these speakers? I am particularly interested in the $2K model and are looking for a smaller speaker that is refined yet can play loud when asked to.

Thanks.

First heard the monitors at the 2007 Rmaf. Some of the best sounding monitors around. Don't seem to get much press?

I did not ask over there but probably will. As Magnumpi205 asks the speakers don't seem to get much press or discussion. I love "below the radar" gear and I'm on a quest to find a less than expensive monitor that works for me. Listened to some Tonian Labs stuff (very nice), soon to listen to the NOLA boxers, after that I'll have some older Spendors that a friend is selling, in to listen to, and finally some Minuets.

The few opinions I've read on the Sound-Smith speaker seem to be exceptionally positive, from people that don't own the product. I'm in Southern California so I'm trying to track down someone who may sell the line.
