Perhaps you can get them in other colours - I heard the Grand Veena back in 2010 at CES and it was one of the better sounding rooms above - but it too has had the tweeter/supertweeter replaced by the BE.
Still sound quality over looks for me and I will try them a few more times. Like the KEF LS-50 which I felt STUNK on solid state amplification - it may just be a matter of finding the right SET for them to get them to be their best.
As an aside for the OP
But a similarly sensitive speaker that blew me away a little bit was the new Zu Audio Omen Def which is 100db+ efficient had pretty awesome bass depth and power and an attractive price and a really nice dark purple cabinet (how is that for luxurious royalty) - to be honest I have not liked Zu Audio much at all but the new one seems to have righted the treble issues (mostly) and with Melody's preamp into my 219IA used as a power amp it had really nice layered tone and big tight deep bass. Apparently it is also less money (and IMO vastly better) than the more expensive "Essence" model.
Err it may have been the Definition model but either way the results were very good. Easy to drive - lots of range, smooth but has giddy-up. and Zu's prices usually aren't nuts (though I don't know exactly how much they are).
