Audio Artistry Beethoven - anybody has heard?

I listed the Beethoven when I replied to the old Audiogon topic:

Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

I feel the same way now, and although am a huge Soundlab fan, the Audio Artistry Beethoven is the first box speaker I auditioned that has the magic of an electrostatic. Add to that, the bass is phenomenal, the soundstage is huge and the listenability is wonderful.

They would certainly be on my short list as choice for reference speaker.

I listened to the Beethovens at Advanced Audio in Cary, NC a couple years ago when Tom, the prorietor was actively promoting the Audio Artistry line. Well, it was overall the best and most realistic sound that I have heard to date. I remember being captivated by how open and pure, immediate and real the sound was. Very room filling and full range down to your toes. A lot of effort went into the set up of these but they rewarded, indeed. Too bad things fell apart and Audio Artistry ceased to exist for all practical purposes.

Does anyone know which brand and model of drivers do the Audio Artistry's Beethoven speakers use?
