At one point they were $399. But now $499-599 is the regular price.
I had a pair. The finish is nice for the money. The sound was fine.

For $500 smackaroos, I think I'd rather have nice sound and a fine finish.
That said some folks would really prefer the finish. It was actually very nice real wood, book matched veneer. Much better than the images online. Also some folks need the approval of housemates or they themsleves just can't have a generic black or whatever.
If you like speakers to be veiled to the point that it seems there's a thin blanket over them. These are not that.
If you want boomy, bassy, rap speakers. These actually do okay, but that's not their market.
But for GREAT sound that is balanced (won't impress your ears and won't hurt your ears) and have extremely accurate vocals... THESE ARE IT! They are particularly well suited to TV shows since the midrange is accurate and not grating.
Source: I had them for a few years (moved on to Emotiva in the home theater and Dynaudio in the 2-channel setup). My mom currently has a set. My ex-gf currently has a set. They also appreciate the really high end look of these. The Walnut with the grey looks very classy and the size is not a small bookshelf, it's decent. When anyone who isn't a hi-fi addict asks for a all arounder, this is the one I've been recommending for years.
They've been $499 every time I purchased a pair, but considering inflation, this is likely a good deal.

Which speakers are good for the wow sound?
If I had to pick a speaker that made me say "Wow", I'm going with JBL Studio 530, or Vanatoo Transparent One.
