PS Gary...
Do read Frank Alles' StereoTimes review(s).
You might try contacting Alan Yun (Silverline Audio) directly and see if you can negotiate some sort of in-home audition. He will sell direct. Not sure if he has demo units, however.
A few additional comments...
I didn't mention imaging in my lengthy note above, but it is crazy good. Center fill (which the Forests also did very well) is really solid. "Palpable" is an adjective that comes to mind. Stage depth is more evident than I've heard before, though I'm not saying the Pluses produce it for every track of every recording. Sometimes it just seems like those audio cues are missing from the recording. This brings up another point - these speakers seem to make differences in recording quality album to album and even track to track more noticeable.
I realize a review of the Prelude Pluses was not the intent of your initial post so I hope these comments will give you a some more data points to use in your purchase decision.
