Acoustat Spectra 22 thoughts?

So I'm kicking around upgrading the SDA 1C's again and I came across a very nice set of Spectra 22's with the matching sub. Anyone out there ever get to audition these?
Gustard X26 Pro DAC
Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)
