interesting, are you going to do the demo? Curious how it turns out. $300 for reference monitors seems impossible for the quality most would want and need. Plus, their point about being closer to the speakers..... that isn't all true considering you want to be far enough from the speaker for the bass freq's to develop. But coax has its charms. My dad was an original hi fi buff and built his own amps/preamps and the speakers were altec lansing big 15" coax design with the tweeters in the middle. Cool in their day.

I'd definitely take up the offer of a 60 day demo, but I'm in the wrong country.
I heard they will be doing a 220v model and was told I should pre order now.
The company looks to have a pretty good pedigree and selling this model direct
makes sense re the low price.
Anyone who gets to demo these, feel free to comment on them.

So, just ordered a set of these. I'll let you know when they arrive ;)

Having spent a couple of hours with these now, they are definitely not going back.
For $299 +100 shipping, they are very very detailed in the mids and I certainly advise anyone to give them a demo.
Especially in the US where the shipping is much less.

Need to spend more time with them comparing to my blue sky and Rokits.
But, any location work, they are coming with me.
