I'm sure they are fabulous - all their stuff is. Dependng on the deal if there is a pair available, you should weigh that versus the new Avior, which is being released within the week from Rockport. They will be $29,500 per pair - all brand new honeycomb carbon drivers ((2) 9" front firing woofers with a 6" midrange and the same berrylium tweeter as the $97k Altair) . I heard them a few days ago and they are absolutly breathtking. The only speakers I ever heard that were better at any price were Rockports bigger speakers.
