Has anyone heard these speakers at the shows?
Follow Ups:
Yes. They are very good for a small floorstander. I know Sven and he is a real artisan. His recent series of speakers make phenomenal sound in such small packages.
I haven't heard this model but I did hear the Boenicke Audio W5s at a show. They were outstanding. As I recall one of the best speakers at that particular show. In that room I remember that they were set up well away from side and rear walls. The presentation was big and spacious. The fit and finish looked great. Really nice speakers.
Here's a review on the much smaller Boenicke Audio W5's

I definitely want to hear the W5. I couldn't make RMAF and I don't know when I'll get a chance.
I like the design concept and love the look. But I have some reservations about that Fountek FE85 driver. It has a rise between 2-3 KHz which I would normally associate with brightness.
These Boenicke Audio w5's are damn good, look at this 2016 RMAF show report
What about all the other giant killers? If true all the giants would be long dead and we would all be jamming insignia's pioneers elacs and emotiva
I built four of these circa 1981.The mid horn is the same size as the RCA Ubangi, but with a better throat for 12's.
The old RCA's are now retired to a community theater in Topeka (originally installed in Cedar Rapids Iowa),
Note the addition of a supertweeter (from when they were in use in a hi-fi.Is there a giantkiller that can take this kind of stuff out?
(I think not, and I sold and serviced high-end hi-fi for many years)
