I would add Dan Wright of ModWright to the list as well.  Keep us posted here.  Happy Listening!

Anybody have any experience with the PowerPlane 1.2?  I want to set up some rear channels and I'm probably never going to have the space for rear floorstanders.  I know the powerpoints got more press but I'm wondering if the in-walls are sonically comparable.   They seem to be available more often and for better prices.  

Speaking of Bryston, I used to own the 4B ST mostly to have a reference SS amp.  It was a real work-horse and powered many speakers I had in my room, both when reviewing or otherwise.  I have always felt I wanted to hear the general character of a speaker by using an SS amp - the speaker maximally under control as it were.  But always, every time, I preferred the sound once I switched back to tubes, especially my CJ Premier 12s.  Eventually I sold the Bryston because I didn't really need it anymore, the CJ seemed to control anything I put on them, and gave me that tube amp sound I seem to crave.

I use PowerPlane for side surround and ViewPoint for back.

IMO, the powerpoint, powerplane and viewpoint are comparable sonically.

Jon - I use the PowerPoint 1.2 extensively. I am told on good authority that the PowerPlane is the same driver and that the XO is modified to account for the different wave-launch environment. The speakers are said to be virtually the same except for the unique wave-launch of the PowerPoint.
