Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers?

I've not heard of them, but they are in our local shop, and extremely reasonably priced. They sound good, but I haven't compared them other other speakers much.

Thanks...

fwiw I think a sensitivity of 92 is a big plus and could help pay for the speaker if you can save money on a lower powered amp.

Plus, you seem to like them.

Go ahead be our Guinea Pig and bite!

good luck
What counts is that YOU like them, not if we do. Chances are very great indeed that none of us on these pages have ever heard these speakers, yet there are lots of comments about them. If I were you, I'd forget about those comments since its YOU who will be listening to them. I would try to listen to them with the components that you already have.. to hear if the speakers mate well with them. If you like them, enjoy them more in your own living room.
I remember back in 1997 when a friend of mine who worked at a high end audio shop told me not to buy B&W DM602's. I listened to them and absolutely loved them for 12 years. I sold them on Agon in one day.

Zydo, I have two reservations. I am not sure but think the resolution is lacking, particularly in the bass. I also think the bass is loose and boomy.

What are your thoughts? What else do you sell?

I need to go compare them more seriously to the PSBs and Paradigms in the room with them.

Thanks.
They are made in China. I read the "about us" statement. The usual all designed here in Canada with completely unique parts....but manufactured in CHINA.
As far as buying them goes they apppear to be big enough to support the product and nowadays $1500 is not a big gamble in the hobby. Someone has to be the first! I am a little surprised that you want to mate them to such fine vintage gear. I don't know what you can afford but a real Marantz 8B is a good amp.
