Actually, I haven't seen any comments about them, and they were kind of hidden away at the far end of the lower lobby in a very small room.

Unfortunately I didn't make it over until just before closing time so I only managed to hear one song, but I have to say it sounded really nice. Congratulations on another great design!

They use a Satori 7.5" woofer in a bass reflex cabinet that has useful response to around 32 Hz. The midrange is the bamboo version of the titanium mid I use in the Phil Slims. The tweeter is an OEM RAAL, very similar but apparently not identical to the tweeter in the Ascend Sierra 2. The most unusual feature is the rare combination of relatively high sensitivity with deep bass reach, all from a single woofer.

See the general AXPONA thread for comments on them. As I mentioned there, if I could have found Jim before I had to leave, I may well have taken those fabulous new $3k three-ways home with me.

Just saw them. I think my last post gave some details. The main difference is sensitivity and power handling, both of which are higher on the new 3-way than on the Slims. That's not a normal combination, and that's why you have to pay extra to get it.

Thanks.

Thanks very much. I didn't realize that Stereophile had mentioned them. This is good.
