I too have tried them and was disappointed. But I know people that like them for the way they float a soundstage of an orchestra, with some of the diffuse sound of the real thing, and the way the strings soar with impressive power. But if you like, say Ella, or any other close-miked vocals, you will be unimpressed. By the way, Plinius uses Shahinian speakers in their voicing of their product, for what it is worth.
