These speakers amazed me with their detail, imaging, and low, tight bass response. Sorry, don't know about off-axis listening as I was pretty much glued to my chair for the whole listening session just enjoying the music. At around $4G I would definitely put these on your list to audition.The Helicon 400's are a great speaker sonically and aesthetically. They have pretty good off-axis response and soundstaging with their tweeter arrangement. Just all-around smooth, engaging speakers and the cabinets are gorgeous. If I could afford these right now I would probably buy a pair. As things stand I am considering the Dali Ikon 7 for my second system.
One other you might try to audition is the Dynaudio Focus 220 - sweet highs, great, tight lows, and beautiful cabinets. These will save you some money, they start at around $3G's.
Good luck and have fun
