Hi-Fi World raved over them originally (about 12 months ago?) and still gave them the thumbs up in a recent issue - they are now around £320 but that was up from £265 so a pretty steep jump. I think WHF gave them 3 stars recently. Definately worth a listen. Build quality looks extremely good and the design is very appealing (at least to my eyes anyway, but they are a little different which is no bad thing from the usual).
I think, given their dimensions, they would work well in smaller rooms - depending on the partnering equipment and budget, you might also consider AVI Neutrons, but these are getting on for not far off twice the money, but give a superb performance for the price as well as one which belies their stature.
EDIT - of course, the partnering equipment is in the space below your message. Like mine. Doh! What it is to read properly before one types...!
