hmm, Ive been reading the AGon forums and the audio asylum forums (is there somewhere else I should look for speaker impressions?) and they all seem the be saying what jpak's saying - Sounds good, too expensive. But it seems that a lot of people end up getting them anyways. :\
oh and what the dealer near me is saying is that compared to other speakers in the price range, you dont really need to put a lot of money into the electronics if you want them to sound good, compared to something like the high end B&Ws, which is always a plus.
