sound accompany monitors?

Has anybody used any Sound Accompany studio monitors? If so, what
were your impressions?

I only heard the lower end ones with the smaller tweeters, and they sounded
very good. Extremely smooth on top. I have not heard the larger ones.

I've also heard the Griffin monitors which use the SA ribbons, and they also
sounded very good, although the low end was set up to be somewhat flabby on
the particular install I heard.

SA seems basically trying to shoot themselves in the foot with respect to
US distribution, so getting one to listen to may not be easy. Looks like
they are not showing at the AES this year either.

After a decade and a half of botched distribution, you'd think they
would have learned...

The SLS stuff sounds good, but I don't think they have anything with very
wide dispersion, as far as mixdown monitors go. I need a much wider sweet
spot, although I can understand the argument in favor of narrow dispersion
especially given how rotten some control booths out there sound.

There's also a company called Alcons which consists of former Stage Accompany
employees. They are probably going to have a couple reps at the AES but
they won't be showing anything there. Their stuff is not distributed
at all in the US, but they at least have the chance of finding decent
distribution and aren't burdened by being tied into an existing distribution
network that is broken.

Anywhere online or in the states that carries them that you know of?
