Has anyone got a set of these? Harvey Norman currently has a set for $499. Can't seem to find too much on the net about them in the way of reviews. Here is a pic of them http://skinflint.co.uk/eu/a142278.html
Guess no one has heard of them. Anyway, after listening to them in-store, it was a choice between these and Wharfedale Crystal 2 30-M's. They both sounded to me very good, but then I'm not an audiophile by any degree. My purchase ended up being the Panasonics. I am running them through an el cheapo Onkyo TX-SR307 which one day I want to upgrade. The sound is clear and defined (well to my ears) bass is adequate, but could maybe pack a little more punch. I think the Crystals shone just a bit more in that dept. I am using them with a sub so it kind of equals out.
As for specs, they are 3 way 6 speaker Bass Reflex type
Speakers: Woofer 8cm cone type x 4, Midrange 8cm cone type x 1 and tweeter 2.5cm semi-dome type x 1 Impedance is 6ohms Input power - 200w (Max) 100w (rated) Crossover freq. 500Hz, 4 kHz Freq range - 40Hz - 100kHz ( at - 16dB, 44Hz - 75 kHz ( at - 10dB) Dimensions 270mm W x 1084 H x 280mm D
Speaker cabinets are made from natural wood. They are also support bi-wiring
I got these for just over $400 down from $1100. They may not be Diamond 10 etc but they seem to me to be ok.

Update: fixed the bass problem, it was a setting in the amp. ( Even with the Sub off, the Bass is very punchy) Very happy with the speakers now if anyone is interested ;)
