They are a Peter Comeau design, downtrickled tech from the top flight Elysian range.
Those are Sonus Faber level, at least price wise.
No idea of perceived value, never heard 'em.

Would love to hear the Elysian speakers, the 4s are a substantial speaker, big room needed I would think.
Glad these are working out so far Gary.
I admire your experience on not rushing things, sounds like you’ve been here before a time or two!

Funny how what goes around comes around. Well not quite, but I used to have a pair of Wharfdale Laser 400s they had the well known isodynamic tweeter and lovely treble. I'm sure these are much better, but then they cost a lot more!

Brand Spankin...
Definitely a bit of a bargain, even if you just factor in the build quality.
Think like the Audiolab CD Transport I picked up, these speakers are future classics.
Been playing all sorts of music through them since early this morning, never heard my system sound this good.
Maybe hearing properly now what the rest of my system can do?

Used to have a set of Wharfedale Delta 30's.
And a set of the big E90's. (Comet Specials)
Funny how it all works out...

Delta 30 are the only bad Wharfedales I ever heard. They were their bargain basement speaker back in the day though.

As I learnt to my cost, you have to find the right speakers to get your system to sing, if you have a good amp then it’s just a matter of getting a good speaker you like and suits the rest room imo

Quality...Well, based on how they look, and your impression of their sonics, which I don't doubt, I'd say that they deserve an official AoS 'SPPV' badge of approval!
Look forward to hearing them when I next visit the auld country [and I bring my DAC]
