as more reviews, written and online, emerge from various sources over the past few weeks, i think a reasonable picture of what these speakers are is emerging
while i haven’t heard them myself yet (not a priority for me personally), i would summarize as follows
-- more traditional look, big box, wide-ish baffles, need decent stands, imposing in a room (to me it is interesting given the concentric drivers, the speaker may need to be raised up more than usual - to compared to say a pair of harbeths with higher mounted tweeter - for correct height and treble dispersion)
-- good to very good, full-ish bass response, somewhat lively forward mid/lower treble, but rolled off high treble with a ’big speaker’ sonic presentation not to be mistaken with more typical standmount bookshelf models - as such, can lead to some fatigue if not well mated to suited upstream components
-- placement and setup quite important (isn’t it always?!) to get proper degree of room boundary interaction, which in turn affects perceived bass response and overall tonal balance of the speaker... i suspect without proper stands issued that quite a few users don’t have the speakers at the proper height
-- excellent driver integration or coherence up and down the frequency range, to be expected with well designed custom drivers, crossover and concentricity, core strengths of andrew jones’ work coupled with good efficiency/easy impedance and thus can be driven by many/most real world amps
-- wide baffle and room interaction makes it pretty obvious the speakers sound has some noticeable ’boxy’ characteristics, which may or may not be an impediment, depending on what the listener has otherwise experienced
-- overall good to very good performance for the $$
