Kirksaeter Prisma Speakers


Has anyone noticed these in the classified section?
I have never heard of them and can't find any info other than the company website. I know it's hard to believe but they say they're great. Hmm
The deal seams almost white van-ish. The towers are new and selling for 2/3 off retail with a free center channel thown in and the guy will pay 1/2 the shipping. What's up here? I see the company has a history and these speakers have good specs, for what that's worth.
Anybody know these?

I run the 220's in my 2-channel analog setup and my friend just bought the Prisma setup for a HT he is building. I also bought some cables from a former Kirksaeter dealer. He had very good things to say about the speakers. I am quite happy with mine and they are one of the under-the-radar speakers worth a listen. I tried to sell my Tannoy Mx HT setup so I could purchase the Prisms but ended up keeping the Tannoys. The 60 bookshelf was reviewed years ago, but everything about the speakers has been upgraded since then. I don't see how you could go wrong, especially considering the current pricing.
My 220's are towers and it's the Silverline group. The Prisma's are a different level. You've asked twice about the sound. It's hard to describe because of the sources and amplification feeding them. I use vintage solid state amplification (upgraded Sansui AU D-11) and the sound is fairly neutral tonally. It is certainly not a warm sound. The bass is great (clean w/good definition) in my romm which measures 17 x 35 w/cathedral ceilings. My cabling is 12ga Vampire Wire CCC. I've swaped out phono carts, TT mats, phono I/C's & headshells. The 220's allow me to hear each change clearly. They are well built. Mine have strips of real hardwood douwn each side. I believe the Prisma's are a vinyl wrap but done well. Again, it's to believe you'd go wrong at the price.
