    You're too late to the scene This speaker came out early last year, and quite a few folks here have auditioned them. I had a chance to do so a couple months ago at a local AV store and didn't like its output that much. However I got to note that the store powered it with an integrated receiver.
    I also didn't like the fact that user has to run a power cable into the back of it:

    Yeah, they have been out, these reviewers seem to get to a certain speaker long after it gets on the market,

    Yes, Sandy Gross was also a co-founder of Definitive Technology (and Polk):

    Never heard of this co. before this morning. Based on their website MSRP, I'd say these are the more affordable versions of the ST/ STS towers.
    The design looks like a cross between the ST and BP lines?
