They look awesome. No info on performance.

The above article is only a press release. I'm sure the specs are floating around on the web somewhere.

After a brief google, I found nothing. (I'm too lazy to look further) HeHeHe

What I did find is they'll be officially unveiled at the 2008 CES.

I don't know, it reads more like they're playing the luxury card rather than the performance card, BMW Design as a consultant? I've got the feeling the company wants to be taken "seriously" by the high-end. Pretty veneers, exclusive design partner and a serious msrp to boot, I say let the tests begin and the marketing bs fly!

I doubt that....

I bet they sound pretty freaking incredible. Klipsch has always offered an insane performance/$$ ratio. With that said, my main interest is in theater applications......so 2-channel audio is low on my personal priority list.

If a Palladium front/center/surround combo was announced.....I'd really, really be drooling.
