You are no longer virgin the moment you dared posted on this "Audiophile" site ;^) I looked at those speakers and can't help noticing all those squared corners and flat baffles, known to cause diffractions, vibrations and a boxy sound. May I graphically recommend before you commit your $$$, check out those sexy, curvy (but extremely rigid) B&W 805 Nautilus ($1200US/used) and start listening to naked, unboxed, three dimensional, in the flesh, holographic music of utter clarity, the result of nearly 40 years of producing quality speakers for the recording professionals.
