I'll pile on with everyone else. They are the single worst "high end" pair of speakers I have ever encountered. I have never in my life heard a more colored, incoherent, phasey, boomy (when coupled with their absolutely terrible one note subwoofers that make car audio bandpass subwoofers sound "tuneful"), shouty speaker in the price range. I went back to the room multiple times trying to "get it" and each time I did, I became more convinced of their weaknesses and was only able to come up with sensitivity as a strength (for those with low powered valve amps).
That said, like Joyce mentioned, there were a couple of people almost transfixed by the sound. They were enthralled, I was confused, I guess to each his own. Probably worth a listen regardless of what anyone says here because that minority of audiophiles who likes them, really loves them.
