I am trying to learn about Krix speakers for HI-Fi

I have a good friend who recently purchased a surround system of Krix speakers. As he lives over 1200 miles away I have not heard them and there are no dealers within a reasonable distance. I have tried to research the product but there seems to be few reviews available that were written in the last 18 months. My application will be stereo and I am looking at the Equinox (a mini bookshelf). What little I have found is positive. What can you tell me? They seem to be priced very attractively.
