Scansonic mb serie

I'm interested in these speakers, specifically the MB 2.5, but don't have a place to hear them, so would have to purchase on faith.  I've been watching Scansonic postings on Agon over the past few weeks and have seen several postings for low hour, basically brand new speakers at 50% of new.  Several people have mentioned that they bought them as demos at CES, but how many of those can there be?  I've grown accustomed to taking Agon descriptions with a grain of salt.  I'm really concerned that these things sound so bad out of the box that people are giving up on them almost immediately and selling them.  Also curious about the increased value of the dollar vs. Euro over the last several months and wondering if they are simply selling for less.

XTI16, Thanks for your reply.  I plan on going to Axpona this year and hopefully they will have these available for a listen.  

I appreciate all the positive feedback.  These will be located in a 20'x30' room, so they will have plenty of space to breathe.  In fact I was a bit concerned that with having two smaller mid/woofers there may not be enough low end.  As I don't have a local dealer I will have to find one in another town or wait until Axpona (and hope they are on display).  I have heard the Raidhos and like them, so if these are anywhere close they must be special.  I have patience, so time is on my side.  Once again, thanks for all who shared their thoughts.
