Ok.... I am really, really impressed. Honestly, I thought when I saw them online... "oh great... another gimmick... a rotating midrange/tweeter box... whoopee". Then someone else told me they heard them and they were great..." sure, sure" I thought.

Then... on the FLOOR at NAMM last weekend... I heard them for myself. I was honestly stunned at how good they were. I would have to hear them side by side... but I think I even liked them better than the Focal SM-11's ($14,000.00 per pair), which had been my favorite monitor of all time up until this point

I mean this is a true monitor, that is fun to listen to! Everything is right where you want it to be! Brilliant design! And what a pleasure to finally meet Harvey face to face.

Anyway.... gotta get me some of these. No hype... these are the real deal... and dang... if they sound THAT amazing on the NAMM floor... I am sure they are beyond jaw dropping in a properly tuned studio!

Congrats Harvey/PMI!! These are a SURE winner!!
