That elegentaudiovideo site isn't an authorized dealer for many of the goods sold on their site, so one has to keep that in mind when choosing to purchase from them.
In regards to the rumored price-jump, I would hope it is just that-- a rumor. The speakers have been out, what, a week, and there is speculation of a 60% increase in price in the near future? If true, that would hint to me that there was a long-time plan to sell these speakers at such a price. Raising the price by such a significant sum is no arbitrary choice.
I will give Evolution Acoustics the benefit of the doubt since nothing has been officially stated. However, if true, I would find such a selling tactic dishonest, simply because it involved getting potential buyers excited about getting exceptional audio performance relative to the price tier it was in, garnering hype and attention based upon said performance beyond its peers and then immediately shooting the price up to where it is competing in a whole different league altogether. If the plan was to sell them at $4,000 with the first few buyers getting them at $2,500, then the solution would have been to state that they were $4,000 speakers with early buyers able to enjoy significant savings.
With that out of the way, I'm glad to hear that they sound great and I look forward to further impressions.
