Has anyone seen the new Meadowlark Swift?

I just looked at the Meadowlark web page, and they have a new speaker out called the Swift. It caught my attention right away, because it looks just like a short Voigt Pipe, with a tweeter added. A guy on the Speaker Asylum heard them, and posted that they threw a huge soundstage, and were as good as the Kestrels for only $995.
I think it is interesting that now, after all these years, there are numerous Voigt Pipe designs hitting the market, like the Meadowlark Swift, and the Cain&Cain Abby, BD designs, and of course the original Lowther.
Anyone heard any of these speakers, especially the Meadowlark? What do you think of the sound, particularly the bass response?

I saw and heard them at the NY show, and was impressed from what I could tell in those sort of circumstances, i.e., not knowing the room, music selections, ancillaries....

They are striking looking for sure, but I am unsure about the outriggers, which I might interpret as a visual reference to the way geese fly.

There are people around selling them for less than 1k, which tells me a lot of people/dealers are feeling pinched these days.
