Anyone with experience with this speaker, especially the active version, that can comment on its sound?

i,ve just heard the passive version at my dealer showroom in Mexico. The most impressive trick they do is that you can identify very clearly the pitch in the bass lines due to its dipole boxless design, it is almost revealing. They don,t have a "cinemascope" soundstage like some that you hear a guitar 6 feet tall, but rather a real one where you can distinguish real proportions. Its a pretty neutral speaker and altough I understand it is most commonly mated with ss amps I heard it with a Jadis 60 watt p/ch tube amp working very nice specially with jazz & chamber music. I,m looking forward to hear the active version which should be a tour de force by using tubes on top and ss in the bottom. Although they just went up in price (from $5000 to $6300 for the passive), I think they are very competitive taking in account what they do with others in their price range, and most likely will be getting them in the near future.
