Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

I am very close to ordering a pair of the Harmonic Precision Carravelle speakers. I am looking in the below $5,000 range and these look interesting. There are only a couple of reveiws so I was wondering if anyone has heard them and been unimpressed? It is a lot of money but I may take a chance on it. Anyone think I can do better at my price point. I will be buying a new amp after I choose a speaker.

Dan: I'm sorry, I of course I meant to single out the 1.6's. Surprised I didn't catch this over the span of two posts, but I guess I was preoccupied with other thoughts. Didn't mean to confuse anybody.

"whattaya think they (the audiogon feedback) are there for?"

Transaction? Buying and selling?

C'mon, what's the relation between my feedback and the truth and value of the drivers of your Caravelle?

Zaikesman...You mentioned two descriptions: "overachieving near-miracles or overhyped quasi-rip-offs". I think you, and the sellers, missed another possible description...A design based on synergistic combination of very modest components to achieve an unexpected high level of performance, at low cost.

There was once such a speaker system...The original Advent.

And sell it as high as possible !

In this case,I won't use the word "modest" for describing the components though.
