There is an uptight fella who lives up here(upstate NY) and he has a pair of them but won't talk about it or let others listen. I am skeptical if they can run with the big boys, though I must admit I have never heard or even seen them in real life either. Most people prefer the soundlab's in that price ranger-of course I realize one is a planer and the other is an electrostat but you get the idea.
