    I have heard them and they sound very nice. They have some favorable reviews as well across the internet and are highly regarded in the UK. Although may be a bit forward for your taste compared to your 1.2's.

    I believe these are the same models I heard at a shop once. It was paired with a peachtree nova and a mcintosh amp with a 5 disc sony cd changer which I thought was the weak link in the system.

    they sound good and have some nice detail however the room didn't have them in the best placement and behind and to the side of them was all glass with no treatments so I don't feel I got a good idea of what they could really sound like. I wouldn't pay the new price but for 1500 doesn't seem too bad if your looking for something different.

    Never heard of them before but they sure are easy on the eyes. They would have matched the Dodge Ram I had:eek:
