After reading many positive comments on these speakers from those that attended the HE 2007 show, I believe that is ample evidence of them being a very good speaker for the money, or maybe even multiples of what they cost. My advice is to first set your budget, then maybe think about selecting a few within this budet to audition based on owner and reviewer comments.
I like comparisons too but, I've often found that only I can select the speaker that best suits my preferences. It is very difficult trying to select based on another's preferences and room. Still, I will be reading the reviews as much as you or anyone else will. I think it does help narrow the field but, to get specific I like to use my own ears.
I also owned the original Time Windows and liked them a lot. They could show some constriction when driven hard but, their overall tonality was very pleasant to the point of being seductive at times. An enjoyable speaker for sure.
