JM Labs Beryllium

Have anybody heard of the Alto Utopia Be or Nova Utopia Be? Are they any better than the superseded range of Mezzo Utopia and Utopia speakers?

Any idea whether any of these JM Labs speakers will sound good with Classe CAM-200? Actually I've got B&W CDM 9NT on my mind as they are cheap, but after 2nd thought I might stretch my budget further by getting one of these classy French speakers. The Utopia is definitely out of my budget but I would like to hear some opinions on how do the above speakers compare.

Thank you.

Alto $15000.00 / Nova $30000.00. Whoa nellie, thats a whole lot of money compared to the $2600.00 B & W CDM-9NT. Just one Utopia center channel speaker cost more than two pairs of CDMs!

I have the 9s, they are mightily compentent in their price range. Seriously you would be better off comparing the Signature line by B & W, or at least a Nautilus. Although even the N801 is less than half the price of the Novas.

I have heard the BE Altos. They are a fantastic speaker. Better than the CDMs? Absolutely, and at that price, they darned well better be.
