I was lucky to visit Mike Galusha's home when attending RMAF '09. He has a pair of the Abbeys? (the 12" woofer version) augmented by 3 subwoofers (I don't recall the specific models). I characterize them with the following - dynamic, tonality, seamless. These, IMO, are what the listeners of Klipshorns, Classic Audio Reproduction, and many of the large speakers are seeking. They image and soundstage quite well, far better than I expected, but as an Alon owner, they're only lack is that wonderful holographic sound stage (which simply doesn't exist in live performances).
Save for that one caveat, IMO, they're wonderful speakers and if your primary goals are dynamics and seamless tonality, they're close to ideal.
Hopefully, Mike will chime in.
FWIW,
Paul
