[net.audio] DBX Speakers?

Anyone know anything about the new DBX speakers (actually the ONLY dbx
speakers since they just introduced their first set)?  They look
interesting on paper, but I've not found anyone who's heard them.

I heard them last weekend in the Stereo Review soundroom, not the
best place to hear them, but I offer my comments:

	excellent imaging, stable stereo image without a "sweet spot"
	a bit heavy on the low end, giving male voices an artificial
		"speaker" sound which wasn't easily tamed by its
		equalizer controls
	overpriced: this is a great $1400 speaker system, but out of
			its league in the $3000-$4000 range
