Regarding "no dealers around", maybe you should consider buying an airline ticket or taking a road trip. There has been a couple of times I've traveled to hear a speaker I was considering but couldn't buy locally. It was certainly worth a few hundred to find out if my costly investment was going to be worth it to me.

Knowing how opinions vary on stereo equipment, I would never buy something unheard unless, 1) I could return it for a full refund, or 2) in the case of used equipment, have great confidence that I could turn round and resell it quickly for what I just paid.

The expense to actually hear it for yourself should prove to be pretty cheap insurance. Just my two cents.
