I do not think that they are necessarily overpriced, given the quality of components, design, manufacture quality, - etc...
Like the upper tier Von Schweikerts, they amaze me with their lack of dynamics, their cold, scientific, & lack of flow, and relaxed character.
No matter how hard one beats on them with beautiful, relaxed, high current amps, - they still sound etched, too precisely clinical, and simply wrong.
I've heard them with VAC, BAT, VTL, D'agostino, Halcro, amps. If you're speaker doesn't sound "right" with VAC, - your speaker is simply WRONG in my book....
This stuff is largely just personal opinion, and as said above, - contingent often on room + music style choices.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
