Green Mountain Audio's Calypso HD Speakers?

Anyone have any experience with these speakers?
They are one of only a few (Thiel, Vandersteen) brands that use first-order crossovers; however their crossovers seem to be vastly simpler than those of other brands. 
The literature and specs on their website are interesting, and the speakers and enclosures look great, but they use off-the-shelf drivers and seem to design their speaker around these drivers, rather than designing their own drivers (as Thiel did). A reinforced plastic basket and foam surrounds for the midrange driver may be a point for concern I think, but that's just based on reading the information on the company's website. 
It appears that GMA has only a handful of dealers in the U.S., even though it's U.S. based.
Anyone own or listened to these speakers?

I also own Calypsos - they are fantastic.  

The detailed response above may have you covered, but if you're looking for additional feedback, LMK. 

I've had several conversations with Roy about drivers and he's very particular in this regard.  The results speak for themselves.

I've also owned other smaller pairs of GMA speakers.
