Well, I'm within 2.5 hours, and get over there for work sometimes. I want to go listen, but I don't have it in the budget right now (I did, but my 16 year old may need a car soon...)
I'm sure I will hear them soon enough, I may go to Axpona also.
My only concern is I don't like many speakers with Be tweeters. I do like the Raal.
But, I'm sure Jim and Dennis did a marvelous job. That AT midrange is likely a bit smoother than the Accuton in the SS8, so I am interested to hear how it integrates with the Be tweeter.
