The prices seemed high to me too. But I listened anyway. I can't compare them to Apogees, since I have never heard Apogees, but I really liked what I heard. There was a sweetness to the sound, but it was also very transparent and dynamic...one of the top 3 or 4 sounds at the show IMO. Sweet spot was small. They may have sounded a bit better on smaller recordings (chamber, small vocal ensemble) than bigger (orchestral) but I would need more listening to confirm this.
