Already done that, and no joy.
While some of their products have great frequency response, none (so far) has been able to match the chills on the back of my neck that a number of my test songs reliably give me.
I did get these chills from a nice pair of ProAc speakers a couple of years ago, but they were only better than my current Linn speakers in the imaging, and to get there they had to be placed at least 3-4 feet from the wall. That is not something I was happy to do, and I would first have to check that the Linns didnt do as well when placed similarly.
The ProAcs also had no more extended bass range than the Linns, at least under the listening conditions, so in the end they were a no-go.
Im keeping my fingers crossed over the SGRs cause my amp is now over 15 years old and may need the capacitors replaced. With 340,000 uf and all matched for response, this will be expensive! Shipping to FNQ is not cheap either.
