Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money??


I have noticed for at least 10 years the name of Eggleston Works speakers, but rarely see reviews of their models. or ads for used  product.  Made in Tennessee, the company's emphasis on "made in USA quality" is interesting  and credible, but they are expensive and not actually the most attractive in appearance . 

 I recently read in TAS they have issued a new version of  "Emma EVO" which will retail for $5495.00.  Has anyone either owned or auditioned any of their models at home or at the Shows.

Thank you,

S.J.

My digital source Marantz Sacd 8005, Dac Schiit Gumby, And Ah tjoeb cd , use as transport as well...Iam using music hall  mff 5 turntable .Power Cables are copper made by DCCA...
I have my Andra for about 16 plus years now, Many times I almost gave up on them, Wes Philip gave them stellar review, they are truly very good speakers, they like a lot of power, they can lack air and posses thin sounding as well, As Davidten heard them in my place, He likes what he heard, to eliminate the thin sounding , I choose tube preamp by Art audio, to push more air on them , I decided to used Musiical fidelity 550 monoblock supercharger, Teo GC and High Fidelity Reveal Cables , I complemented them with Cerious Technolgy speaker cables, the Andras did sound very musical with no trace of thin sounding....and more air and dynamics showed up....
Pops I tried Mc Intosh as well , not a good match...I tried the BAT amp too dry for my taste, I tried Krell too mechanical, Mark Levinson 335 and their preamp did well with the Andra with transparent cables, I tried odyssey mono extreme amp did not match, 
iam not sure if the Andra 2 were made after Bill Eggleston sold the company, I do have the Andra 1, it took a lot of works before they sound really good....
If you will hang on the Andras , and be patient , at the end they will give you musical enjoyment for a long time, My plan this summer I will audition Encore tekton, to see how good are this Andras, my guest I will end up keeping the Encore and the Andra...
Shadorne 4K watts for the savoy ? Wow they need power...thanks for the link....very informative..
