I heard them awhile back and thought they were simply wonderful. Rich, full and detailed and really easy to listen to. The cabinets are beautiful as well. The designer is really quite good... his cables and tuning feet are second to none in my exp...

You sound doubtful...

The driver is souced from Gradient who has it custom made by SEAS. The Bravo has a different crossover and different cabinet neither of which are made by Gradient. The difference in sound between the two is not small.
