Any Rethm Bhaava owners?


I'm wondering if anyone  out there owns the Rethm Bhaava and can share their experience with them. I've always owned Magnepans, currently have 1.7's. The down side of Magnepan's is that they want lots of power and really don't sound their best if not played at full concert level ... added amplifier $$$'s and fraying of spouse nerves.  I heard the Bhaava at CAF, one of the very few box speakers that had no cabinet sound  coloration and an authentic low end. It's design principles of a horn loaded unidriver section for the top range and an isobaric floor firing low bass driver made sense as a way to keep coherency. Overall the sound was lovely, authoritative and got excellent resolution at "speaking" loudness levels. My main reservation was that it didn't seem to have "snap", hardness on percussive transients which was hard to sort out given that I was unfamiliar  with all the other components in the playback chain. Anyone else familiar with these as compared to planar or electrostatic speakers?

Guys we picked up the show pair and became Rethm dealers so if you want to hear them again we got em.

We have a different idea for amplification which is the Unison Reseach S6 a 35 watt Set amp. The pairing should be magnificent.

Honestly never liked full range type systems before this is the first one with good high freq and great bass.
