Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc

Hello,
It seems that a few speaker makers are using the thin walled, lightweight, less damping approach to building. For example Tonian, Musical Affairs and some others.

And I've read some very positive reviews of such speakers. I can see how they would sound unreal with vocals, acoustic instruments etc. But how do they sound with other more spectrally complex music- lets say rock. Do they turn to sonic mud?

I'd be curious to hear feedback from anyone who actually owns or has heard such speakers.

Thanks

Nice writeup. But back to my original question... how do they sound with rock music? A lot of speakers sound great with acoustic music or female vocals, but fall apart with denser music.

Opinions from people who have heard please.

Nonoise- thanks for your account. People seem to love the TL-D1, and I am very interested myself.
Tnt-audio had a nice review, but their musical material was:

Chesky Jazz and Audiophile tests Vol2; Arthur Rubenstein - Fryderyk Chopin; Ustad Shahid Parvez; Live in Toronto; and Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto.

All good music, but c'mon! It makes these speakers sound like old man speakers. No offense to anyone ;)
