Listened to them at the 2015 NY Audio Show paired with a Vinne Rossi Lio, Palmer TT, and Vinnie Rossi Amp. Clean and clear at high volume but lacked the emotional involvement I look for. They didn't draw me into the music, just presented it in a "matter of fact" way.
I second the Charney recommendation for and involving horn that plays music not just sounds! AFAIK Charney will be at the 2017 Capital Audiofest.
Disclaimer: I have known Charney since '05 (bought a used Dac from him) and own a pair of his creations.
