German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted

I would like to hear from folks that either own or have heard any of the German Physiks Speakers,
preferably the Carbon or Borderland.Both being MK 4 versions with the latest triple D drivers.

I have either one of these unique speakers near the top of my short list but with too many unknowns with a speaker this expensive,I will probably have to make a trip to see Larry owner of Distinctive Stereo and get a good look and demo.

The HRS-120 might be a candidate also at a lesser price point.

Kenny.

I own a pair of Ohm 1000s and really enjoy them. I find that they produce a realistic sized, stable image. One of my favorite attributes of the Ohms is that I do not have to stay put in a small sweet spot in order to hear them at their best. It's great to have many people in the room and that all of them can enjoy the music at its best.

I have a set of Ohm 1000s in a 13 X 25' room with a vaulted ceiling and the sound is extraordinary -- the best I've ever had in any of my homes. (I should have a larger model but brought these from another house with a smaller room and didn't feel like trading up so added a small sub.) 

My reference point is acoustic music, though I also enjoy music with amplified instruments. The Ohms have a natural sound and realistic soundstage -- nothing oversized. They do a much nicer job of sounding like live music than anything else I've had.  Yes, placement is important, but I've found that is also important with the box speakers I've owned previously.

I'd like to hear a set of GPs but, at their price point, I have no interest in buying a pair when I'm getting so much enjoyment from the setup I currently have.

Of course, as they say with EPA mileage estimates for cars, YMMV.  ;-)
