Anyone heard the ess connoisseur series?

I believe ESS was trying to make a come back a few years ago and released a new product line of some very interesting speakers.

A company in California was importing and marketing them in the US but it never really took off and disappeared from their web site.

Where are you seeing these speakers?

I have a pair of ess amt 1b-from the 70's-use them in second system and have always liked them.I read on the internet about the connoisseur series-very positive reviews-I always thought the heil driver was hard to beat.
Besides the connoisseur series-there is company under the name Oskar Heil that use the heil-wondered if anyone has checked them out.
