Martin Logan Aeons help?

Has anyone heard anything about these speakers? I have tried to find reviews online and there just aren't any (search via google). I am trying to make a pretty tough decision based on the review and maybe your help as well. I own a pair that are about a year old and I think they have really good sound. However, I don't know if I can afford to keep them given that I have heard that they are expensive to match to both components and other speakers (for both home theater and stereo use). My current receive is pretty weak for this speaker (Denon AVR-3300) and I am thinking of upgrading, but it seems like everything is around 2-5k for something that will do them justice. Any thoughts here or something that I may be missing? I listen to blues, rock, and some jazz. I have been thinking of selling them and getting some B&W CDM9NTs (cheaper to match with other speakers) or maybe the Revel F30s. Any thoughts or comments would be very appreciated!!

I own Request's, Scripts and Cinema. I ended up purchasing a Sunfire Cinema Grand to use as the amp. It had two BIG things going for it:

1. Price - very cost effective on Audiogon
2. Very efficient with speakers that require < 2 ohms.

I listened to a number of amps, including krells and tubes before purchasing the Sunfire. The price / performance was not there for me. There may be better - but this is good - for now...

Also, I found that speaker placement with this system is really important. Just a BLW suggests, make sure you take room acoustics into account.
