Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?

Anyone heard Buggtussel speakers made in Michigan(?)Their ads appear in several mags, and their website provides some interesting design and driver information. They use a transmission line bass which (in my experience)produces the tightest and best low-end. Is this the "sleeper" speaker(line) of the 21st century, or just another bunch of empty boxes??

You gotta love a speaker company that chooses to name their product after a fictitious town from the Clampett family's hillbilly past. I've never heard them, but they get my vote. :-)

I haven't heard them recently, but I have met the guy that makes them. I live in the same town they are made. He does have a weird naming philosiphy. That is the kind of guy he is. His name is Kevin Blair. He used to show his stuff in the local high end shops, and I was really impressed. In my opinion it is hard to get transmission line right, and he does. I haven't heard them since he changed his company name to Buggtussel.

I think the name is marketing suiside! They may be great but..........Jethro,you and Elly Mae, go fetch them speakers from down to the cement pond, Granny want's to hook up them new "Pixley" By war shotgun(shotgun,hehe, get it)speaker cable critters to her new fangled "Green Acres" 300B amp gadgets she done got form Mr. Haney! And this could go on and on and on and...........................do they need to be hooked up to the "electrisical"? How do they look? what are the "comseteticals"? Sorry I got go climb the pole to answer the phone, but I did see that they were well reviewed by the "Arnold Ziffel Guide to Home Theater". He gave them 5 oinks. They make those old westerns sound like the Cowboys and Indians(sorry if this is not PC) and are in the room!
