I've heard these in Owensboro, KY, and they sounded good enough for me to order a pair. I was looking for a speaker as smooth, detailed, dynamic, spacious, and non-fatiguing as the Silverline Sonatas but with more extended bass. Bass limitations were also the problem with the Joseph RM50si and some Totems whose model I don't remember. NHT's were bright, Aerials were muffled. The Legacy Signature 3, which I preferred to the Focus (these had excessive mid- bass, making them sound far too 'rich'), was accurate, but not musical, and had a flawed soundstage, especially with respect to depth. I haven't had a chance to audition the VMPS's in this price range. The best speaker that I found was the Revel Salon, and the Taylo's gave the closest approximation at the $6000 price point. Tyler just started building mine: if you can wait about two months for construction, shipping, set-up, burn-in, and evaluation, I'll give you a full review.
