Can anyone share their impression on this bookshelf speaker? Read some good reviews in the net and it looks interesting.

TIA

What I told hawk01 when he asked me about it:

It's actually very good. decent bass that's neither too hard nor too soft, mids are decent for the most part, except for female vocals which are too compressed/nasal. Not actually that bad, and probably could have lived with it if i didn't have other speakers to compare it to. The amt is the best part, gives the ribbon type 3d soundstage but unlike true ribbons, it doesn't get fatiguing. It's not as refined as true ribbons though, but I think it's probably the best compromise and most speaker makers are switching to AMTs. Overall, it's a pretty good speaker if you like warm sound signature (typical of wharfe), and you don't find anything wrong with the female vocals.
