Pro: more air and space, greater definition throughout the frequency range, and cleaner transient snap.
Cons: makes your speaker a tougher load (some companies deny it but I think there is no physical way around it), potentially goofy look.
Hifi+ has reviewed a couple of them - the Townshend and the Tannoy. They couldn't explain it technically but their impact was obvious. They loved both and deemed them a highly worthwhile purchase no matter what speakers you use.
