Thoughts on the TAD TSM-2201-LR?

Has anyone heard these TAD monitors?

Though TAD appears to be targeting pro users with these speakers, they're passive. The woofer looks like an interesting design (and at 8", quite large to be in a monitor), and the tweeter appears to be metal, though probably not beryllium. It's unclear whether Andrew Jones played any role in designing them.

Given that these speakers are a TAD product, the most attractive thing about them is the price.

I would love to hear them. I bet they sound great with the Job 225. When I first got the Job I used the very inexpensive Andrew Jones designed Pioneer speakers to make sure all was okay. That combo was amazing.

Indeed, I'm interested in pairing these with the Job 225. I just can't believe that no one on WBF seems to have heard them. WBF is the one forum that's on the bleeding edge. And by bleeding, I mean bleeding cash on gear that might or might not be good.
