You should've just stopped right there. It would behoove you to remember that old adage: don't judge a book by its cover.
Because I have purchased 4 of these (& listened to them extensively over the last week), and I've now ordered 2 more.
These, combined with the Syn Res ART system, and 2 pairs of Shakti Hallographs have produced the best sound I've ever had in this room.
If you read the Stereotimes review, that is EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. I have more air, 3-dimensionality, body, depth of soundstage . . . width; a resonator guitar now just hangs there in the air, with awesome sustain.
Are they worth the price of admission? For me the answer is yes. But I understand that answer depends (largely) on your income bracket . . . like so much in high end audio.
