I heard one today in JL. It looked nice and the rotary control dial was quite cool. I can image the aluminium finish getting quite grubby (like the one in the store). To be honest I thought the sound was hmmm ... average/average+, but it was a quick listen and may have been down to the music that was being played (sounded compressed) or the ambient noise in the store. Not something I would be interested in i'm afraid at that price level ... I'd rather have a stereo pair of Sonos Play:1s and save some money.
