IMO, the results aren't that bad.
The response is a bit jagged in the very top end, but the notches are so narrow that I doubt it's audible.
The horizontal dispersion could be smoother, but it's a lot better than most other center speakers, thanks to the coaxial speaker.
There are better coaxial drivers though, but this design is almost 20 years old by now. By the old standards, I think it's pretty good!
It's heavy, but it's also housing a ton of material.
It's expensive, but it also handles quite a bit of power, especially for it's age.
It doesn't have a lot of output below 100hz, but a center speaker isn't expected to.
Sure, if it's still on sale, I wouldn't pay more than 600 bucks for it or so. But back then, I would argue that 2700 bucks wasn't too much to ask.
