Sapphire Audio speakers anyone?

Hi,
I went to a Tweeter store to audition the Monotor Audio Silver series and the dealer also showed me a brand I had not heard before, Sapphire Audio. (www.sapphireaudio.com). This is a new company, the ST3, 5-way model is in the range of $1300. To me, they had a great soundstage and detail, but the mid/high-mid was a little too forward and at high volume, it sounde harsh. Has anyone auditiones these speakers? DOES THIS COMPANY HAVE A FUTURE? I am trying to find a good match for my Jolida 502. Any advise on these or any other good matches in the $1300 range would be welcome. Thanks!

Sapphire Audio was designed & started by the former founders/researchers of Cambridge Audio & Infinity Speakers. The best speakers they have is the ST3 Bs. They are very detailed and have excellent soudstage. The reason they sound harsh is because of bad quality Cds or Dvds. It actually brings out the difference if you use low quality players and recordings.

Yes Tweeter owns a part of them and they are promoting it. They received excellent reviews in Stereophile magazine and they are rated class B.

Go for a used pair of Jm Lab Electras for your Jolida if you can find one in the $1500.00 range
