I'm all for form following function, but for my taste I don't think aesthetics and C1 belong in the same zip code much less the same paragraph. They do look a helluva lot better than the hideous C2 and C4, but I for one would not have them in my living room unless I was trying to get rid of my wife. Especially when there are beauties like the Pulsars (and some of the others mentioned above) in the same price range. To each his own, and best of luck.
