Gershman Black Swans

Did anyone hear these at CES and/or does anyone own these? I have recently heard excellent things about them and the reviews appear to be uniformly good. Since I don't anticipate being able to demo them anytime soon, I'm curious how they would compare to my VSA VR-7se's, which I am using with a Velodyne DD-15 sub. Same league? Better? Not as good? Similarities? Differences? Any positive input welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Every time I have heard them they sounded horrible, thin, uninvolving and flat, three times at shows I couldn't stand them any time, I walked right past them this year due to prior experiences.

A friend of mine raved about them a year or so ago and says they are awesome though I've never heard them. He goes to some of the shows. You might email member frankie_u.

Fplanner2000,
I heard them at RMAF2007 in the Clayton room. The front-end was a 581, the preamp was a VAC (don't recall the model) & the power amps were Clayton M200 monos. I also have forgotten the cable brand.
The sound was very nice. I was quite impressed w/ how much the overall sonics involved me.
Mrs. Gershman was there herself giving the demo (she was a nice hostess).
I'm afraid that my limited experience was quite opposite to Kennyt's!
