Well, they have to be some of the ugliest speakers I've seen in a while. Talk about WAF - those are instant divorce! I might consider them if I was putting together a commercial system in one of those places where the ceilings are all painted black. Also, they are very expensive. The AVS thread had a post by a DSL representative that they were looking into a different product for the home market. That might open up their placement with the average HT/audio enthusiast.
