I might listen to them when my listening room is finished, but what I see is that in the UK a pair of one of their speakers (HL5+) is $2,500 cheaper, 3379 GBP v. 7500 USD. Importer adds an extra layer of middleman I suppose. May sound great, but that's a huge price pop for me and I'd consider comparable U.S. domestic speakers first.
