Has anyone seen the new Meadowlark Swift?

I just looked at the Meadowlark web page, and they have a new speaker out called the Swift. It caught my attention right away, because it looks just like a short Voigt Pipe, with a tweeter added. A guy on the Speaker Asylum heard them, and posted that they threw a huge soundstage, and were as good as the Kestrels for only $995.
I think it is interesting that now, after all these years, there are numerous Voigt Pipe designs hitting the market, like the Meadowlark Swift, and the Cain&Cain Abby, BD designs, and of course the original Lowther.
Anyone heard any of these speakers, especially the Meadowlark? What do you think of the sound, particularly the bass response?

I've heard these speakers both at the NYC HiFi Expo and during a visit to Pat's factory up in Watertwon NY. Now, I do not sell Meadowlark, but I think Pat has a great little speaker here. The plinth (or outrigger as somone has called it) that mounts onto the bottom of the speaker is a great idea for such a small speaker to give it a much more stable footprint and looks sharp to boot. The speakers are quite articulate and transparanet for thier price and are capable of throwing a big soundstage. Personally, given thier articulate character (and easy load) I would probably prefer tubes on them.
