I recently purchased a pair of Junior 8 XRS' from Louis in Walnut with the wheat grilles. They look fantastic.
Sound-wise, they are still clearly breaking in as they can be a bit all over the place. Sometimes they sound congested and grainy and other times I get a taste of what I suspect they will sound like in their final form and it's sublime. Amazing imaging and a killer sound stage. I find that they are best with smaller ensemble music (jazz, quartets, acoustic, etc) but hold their own well enough with rock and noisier music too.
I should clarify that I also have one of Louis' KSubs which helps even out the bass response. They sound fine without it, but infinitely better with, for my tastes.
The break in period is real though. Keep that in mind.
