I haven't heard them, and I have objected to some people in the past saying how revolutionary these speakers were, better than everything, while not overtly revealing they are dealers. That being said, if you go over to www.audioasylum.com a user by the name of "John Ashman" has posted NUMEROUS reviews and observations from magazines and other reviewers. He would be happy to answer any questions you have. Also, stereophile in their CES coverage called the NHT system the most improved, as they weren't totally taken by the initial listen last year. the absolute sound rated them the best system under 5k, or something like that. Go to audioasylum and ask john, he has many reviews and insights, as he has heard them.
