Audio Artistry Beethoven - heard it?

I heard a demo of them at CES several years ago and to this day consider the Beethoven among the best speakers I've ever heard. I was shocked at the price then, I wonder what they sell for now?

As for comparing them to Apogee Scintilla, that is no contest in my opinion. I would absolutely choose the Beethoven.

The Quad is such a different speaker, I wouldn't know how to compare them. The Quad and Beethoven are both on my favorite top ten speakers list.

Muralman1, that's why there are choices.

I could not own the Scintilla, especially after hearing Soundlab. The Quads are error by omission. Not the bandwidth of Scintilla or Soundlab, but what they do, they do nearly perfect.
