Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money??

I have noticed for at least 10 years the name of Eggleston Works speakers, but rarely see reviews of their models. or ads for used  product.  Made in Tennessee, the company's emphasis on "made in USA quality" is interesting  and credible, but they are expensive and not actually the most attractive in appearance . 

 I recently read in TAS they have issued a new version of  "Emma EVO" which will retail for $5495.00.  Has anyone either owned or auditioned any of their models at home or at the Shows.

Thank you,

S.J.

Pops I tried Mc Intosh as well , not a good match...I tried the BAT amp too dry for my taste, I tried Krell too mechanical, Mark Levinson 335 and their preamp did well with the Andra with transparent cables, I tried odyssey mono extreme amp did not match,

There is a listing for Andra I on another US site: 4.2K.

I owned the Andra 2’s for about 5 years and my impression was identical to what Pop’s stated.
The Andra 2’s used the Esotar tweeter that many raved about (perhaps it was a crossover problem) but to me, the high frequencies were lacking and was my reason for selling.

iam not sure if the Andra 2 were made after Bill Eggleston sold the company, I do have the Andra 1, it took a lot of works before they sound really good....
