I have the same.
We had Lansche 4.1s Stereophile measured them, sadly they look better than they sound.I'm a sucker for Euro-Poplar/Mappa-Burl. I've not heard these but would like to.
Lansche 4.1:
I have heard these. They are very well designed and sound great! The cabinets are a steel-alloy.
Polymer Audio Research MKS-X:
They measured the 5.1: https://www.stereophile.com/content/lansche-audio-51-loudspeaker-measurementsWe had Lansche 4.1s Stereophile measured them, sadly they look better than they sound.

Not the best photo but caught my eye - Pylon Audio is a local company to me, but I haven't seen this model yet, probably because it was just introduced this year. High sensitivity, tractrix horn loaded compression driver, and supposedly designed to be uncolored. And I appreciate the beefy aesthetic. I'll keep an eye out on reviews, might be interesting thing to keep a lookout for on the used market in a few years(at around $5k a pair it's a bit too pricey for me right now).

Whoa. What are those drivers?
I dunno but I Googled "NEHD" and got "New England Homes for the Deaf !"Whoa. What are those drivers?

I'd love to see the NEHD measured.HiVi TM1a mid and tweeter combo and Tymphany LAT-250. They are both unfortunately NLA. The name NEHD came from the ad-copy saying that 'No ears have died', meaning likely that they did not sound bad. It stuck as their namesake.
It had an immediacy like no other I've built- tight and articulate. The other key feature was the horizontal off-axis response was from a line of semicylindrical driver profiles- they did a lot well, but did need some bass help.
Thanks for asking...

I dont think these are the most beautiful speakers ever, but judging from the abominations posted here, they're easily among the upper third
I've got these in my office at work. They sounded to me like 'little speakers' which is not surprising considering that they are indeed small. In context though my home speakers are refrigerator sized so most anything would sound comparatively small. I have some ADS tower speakers in my office playing now.
