I'm very interested in these as well. The pictures are discouraging - the silver metal sides make them look like a $29 lamp from Home Depot. I hope that's just the photo's and they look better in real life.
This company is Factory Direct only now so you can now buy a pair for 50% OFF !!...
Anyone ever get to audition these? I owned Acoustat Model 3's in the early 90's, and never got over how they could make the front of the room disappear, sometimes giving me vertigo from my listening position.
