Has anyone tried these or heard them?

They are an extremely unorthodox design with a 6.5in(!!!) driver going down to 20Hz (-6db). I think I may have to treat myself when funds allow.
Extract from the review:
"Granted there was a point where there was clearly too much bass, but it sounded like the Quads had too much bass, not that a subwoofer was turned up to high. So what the Magellans did was pull off a disappearing act equivalent to what a pair of Quads do. There was no trace of them in my listening room. I was left with just the music. My work as a reviewer gets easier in this situation. There was little sonic signature to give away the subs' presence so there was little to describe its sound. What I heard was as much pitch definition, individual note definition, beat definition, leading edge definition, and trailing edge definition as I had ever heard from a speaker reproducing bass, let alone from a subwoofer. The Magellans didn't just keep up with the speed of the Quads: for all intent and purposes, they had become part of the Quads."
