    I'm not sure about that, this the first one I've seen in a Magazine.
    Here's a mini-review online:

    I posted my thoughts in a couple other threads in this sub-forum, danz. It's a huge huge improvement over my old LSi set. The sound stage envelopes my big living room, and it seems I can actually feel the air moving with each note, truly a grand-scale effect. I won't change this LSiM set any time soon!

    I had skimmed through a few of their pre-reviews like this before and was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure they add any kind of value. Anybody can look at a spec sheet and speculate. Maybe some people find this useful, who knows...
