Thanks for your BondmanP!
I actually did order them a couple of days ago. waiting for the veneers to show up and make the final decision.
I asked John S about the signature sound differences between a cylindrical enclosure vs. the cube/rectangular enclosures of the 2000s and 3000s and he said the cylindrical shape definitely increases the internal volume of the speaker without increasing the outside dimensions and the fact that enclosure could be made much thinner and lighter also helps. most importantly, I got a very good price break compared to buying the 3000s. I will keep everyone posted once I get them.
