dvdboulet, the chef?
I also heard the $999 Evo 4.2s at Capitol Audiofest and they sounded much better than I expected. Definitely worth an audition if they are in your price range. The Mofi/Wharfedale room was using a Rogue Audio Sphinx which doesn't seem to get great reviews from owners online, so I think they can sound a lot better (and I own a Rogue Cronus Magnum II amp and like it quite a bit so I'm not biased).
