I bought a used pair of SP II Signatures a couple of months ago and love 'em. Very substantial cabinet, excellent drivers and crossover components. They aren't the last word at the frequency extremes, but plenty satisfying for me.
I have a pair of the bottom line DPS and these are a good sounding speaker for the money. I have listened to Martin Logans, Vienna Acoustics, and Magnepans that cost more money but don't sound any better. I owned a pair of Magnepan MGIIIa and these are overall better. The detail is almost as good and they don't freak out on saxaphone parts. The bass is much better.
My only criticism of the speakers are the midbase they use. They use that Scanspeak Kelvar midbase, which i think can sound edgy. I wish Montana would use the Scanspeak revalator midbase or the Scanspeak paper midbase. I think those drivers sound so much smoother then the Scanspeak Kelvar midbase.
