Price is good. I have never heard them but have heard the 1037be (no 1038be) many times and thought they were just ok. I kept and eye out for a used Pair of Scalas at one point but it never worked out for me (loved the looks).
In that price range other speakers I would have on my list are used Wilson's, Magicos, and Rockports (don't come up much) and Vivid Audio (come up even less...).
