I heard them at Sound Images in Northern Virginia. They were on big 4" Mapleshade platforms, a "must" according to the salesman, quoting Anthony Gallo. I don't believe the setup was optimum -- too near the back wall for one thing. The specific CJ and Ayre electronics were not familiar to me. That said, I thought they sounded very good, but not THAT much better than my Gallo Ref 3s. Very ample bass, despite the (multitude of) small drivers. That's the best I can do. Dave
