Yes, the higher end Sonus Fabers are stunning loudspeakers, the lower end not so much. It is cheaper to build things here in the States so you get more for your money. How ever for $1000 why not.
Soix2 you have to be careful evaluating mid bass as it can change quite dramatically with the room and placement. There are very few speakers whose mid bass is not correctable by moving them around a bit. However, I have not played around with those speakers so I might just be FOS. Moderator, are you going to remove this post because I insulted myself?
