Whoa, those things look like they're built like tanks! My first impression of the Prestige series is that they are clunky and unappealing. Hmm, but I've stared at them for a while now, and my impressions have changed. They definitely have a unique look, not the slim HT friendly speakers so common out there. There is a certain elegance, a furniture style quality to these speakers. They need to be pretty wide, though, to handle the large diameter of the dual concentric drivers. Pricey indeed.
