According to Thomas J. Norton, they sound outstanding:

And they better, because according to me, they look like something you get
from IKEA for $129 (assembly required).

I know that looks are secondary to performance but did they have to be
sooooooo CHEESY. YECCHH!

Compare to Innersound, for example:

To me these are beautiful speakers in addition to sounding great.

As many of you know, I'm a huge Martin Logan fan and own a pair of Prodigys
and a pair of SL-3's but I just cannot digest this new look.

What do the rest of you think?

Could be Pottery Barn!

Is it a good idea to realize an antipathy to Scandinavian style at this
