Hi everyone who responded. It's funny, I posted this and I've been so busy I forgot all about it, my friend read it before I did. Anyway, I did speak at length with Tash, he was great and very helpful. I know I could try them out at home but as has been discussed I wouldn't want to deal with the return shipping if I happened to not like them. Plus I'm very broke at this time and don't have the extra money to pay for return shipping. I could only buy these when I sell my Focals. I know Harry Pearson gave them a Golden Ear award (the queen comment made me laugh) and my friend who's opinion I trust fully highly recommended them, but no matter what I wouldn't buy a set of speakers without hearing them first. So, I'm still hoping someone nearby might have a pair. And I do agree it's odd that they don't have a dealer in or around NYC. I mean come on, it's New York, you can get pretty much anything you would ever want here. Except Grand Veenas I guess.
Anyway, thank you all for your responses and have a good Thanksgiving, Chris.
