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.

@sunnyjim I owned Andra II’s for 3 years. They are great speakers but I ended up selling them as my long term reference has always been Thiel, a very different sound.  I own 2 pair of them.

The Eggys did a lot right, great midrange and bass, very transparent and simply disappeared in the soundstage.  My only compliant, not quite enough air on the top end. I paired them with Mcintosh 501’s and Classe amps, which both lean to the dark side of reality. A different amp might have yielded different results. I thoroughly enjoyed them but were not a long term keeper for me. They are extremely heavy, just an FYI. Fortunately, I sold mine to a young buck who was able get them upstairs!
