I did end up getting a pair of these out of curiosity. They are superbly constructed and look fantastic. I'm really underwhelmed by the sound though. They put out impressive bass for their size, and the sound is very detailed and clear, but they feel... constrained. They sound like small speakers. By comparison, my Logitech Z-2300 (with a 2" driver and no tweeter in the speakers) sound much more full and open. Very weird.
