Yes I have.  Very good if not great value for the money.  Also, fwiw, universally highly praised by reviewers.

Why haven't I seen any talk about them in this forum?  Everybody seems to listen to paradigm, VSA, Definitive etc.

Because this is a tapers board, not an audiophile board.  An extremely small sample size within a slightly larger community will not a diverse grouping make.  I would head to audioasylum.com, audiogon.com forums, or audiocircle.com for opinions on gear not discussed here.
