Soundsmith monitors - Opinions wanted

I read over at AA that these monitors knocked the sox off a few visitors at the Axpona show over in Jacksonville last weekend. From those who have had some personal listening experience can you give me some idea of the strengths and weaknesses of these speakers? I am particularly interested in the $2K model and are looking for a smaller speaker that is refined yet can play loud when asked to.

Thanks.

Thanks Peter. Because these speakers are difficult to audition 9at least on the West Coast) I wonder if there is anyone in the SoCal area that has the Monarchs and might be amenable for me to have a listen. This is the one downside to "under the radar" gear...sometimes it can be tough to listen to the stuff outside of electronic shows and the like.
