Anybody using the Opera Super Pavarotti?

My wife and I listened to a pair of these at the Stereophile show in 2001. It was the only thing there all weekend she saw that got more than a passing comment from her. (she indulges my hobby, but would be just as happy with a Bose Wave Radio). Today she mentioned them again, a full 18 months later: "what were those speakers we heard in NY? I liked the way they looked and sounded"

Anywho, anyone using them or have experience with them and care to comment about them?

Bobheinatz-
Unfortunately (for my wife anyway), they would be a step way down IMO. Currently using a pair of Magnepan MGIIIAs w/ modified XOs that can really sing. They would be an improvement over the pair we have in our second system in the basement, but, she never listens down there. She likes them for the WAF upstairs, but the WAF is not a factor in the basement. Thanks for the opinion!

I know about the Stereophile article from Sam's Space, I had that issue on the sofa in our family room - I suspect that's what triggered the comment from my wife... I was hoping a 'goner was using them in real life. Thanks!
