Has anyone auditioned the BeoLab 5 speakers?

These speakers have gotten mixed reviews. Some listeners claim that they provide great depth of field, others think that they are two-dimensional. Some people love the base, others think it is way too much. Some people like the highs, others think they are harsh. Is it possible that the front end B & O components are responsible for these apparently irreconcilable opinions about these speakers. What do they sound like with good front end components?
