Anyone have experience with these? I'm trying to find another tower speaker to replace my Esprits in the 2-channel rig so i can leave the Esprits to HT only so i don't have to keep switching cables around depending if i want to watch a movie or just listen to music, but i don't want to make a step down in quality.

But i AM getting impatient waiting for a decent set of Paradigms or Mirage to pop up here, sooo...

How likely is the 26hz that these things are supposed to go down to? Worth the $150 in your opinion?

    BTW it is my goal in life atm to find you a killer deal on some speakers that we will both want to own! :D
    Most of them only hear how loud it sounds, and the rest of us hear everything else - :rolleyes:

    I see that.... :p Seems the Indianapolis killer deal on speakers lake has dried up, unfortunately.

    I contacted the seller of these, hopefully i can go demo them.
