Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money??

I have noticed for at least 10 years the name of Eggleston Works speakers, but rarely see reviews of their models. or ads for used  product.  Made in Tennessee, the company's emphasis on "made in USA quality" is interesting  and credible, but they are expensive and not actually the most attractive in appearance . 

 I recently read in TAS they have issued a new version of  "Emma EVO" which will retail for $5495.00.  Has anyone either owned or auditioned any of their models at home or at the Shows.

Thank you,

S.J.

I recently installed a pair of EgglestonWorks Viginti Speakers in my music room.
They are absolutely amazing!
After 20 years of Wilson Audio MAXX I thought I will never change my habits.
But, In a side by side demo arranged for me at Sunny Components in Covina, I was able to compare Wilson Audio Alexia 2, Vandersteen Seven Mk2 and the Viginti. It was a close race, they are all great speakers, but when Placido Domingo voice came up, there was only one choice, the Viginti.

If your preference is Classical music, Piano, strings or voices, for my taste, the viginti reproduced them with extreme realism.

The Viginti is not a very efficient speaker, don't hesitate to drive it with ample power.

BTW, the Viginti was the least expensive of the trio I auditioned.
