I am getting a pair of CP-8872 in March.
They are beautiful and get good tests, I believe they are very good. By the way they are not Chinese, they are made in Taichung, Taiwan.

I like a lot of what I saw on the website, especially the "horn series" D2 but I'm a bit confused. They show a bio of Dr. D'Appolito, but nowhere does it say that he is their chief designer. If it is then they should say so.

Yes it is there in the introduction page of the website. I saw their ad in some British magazines so my guess is that they are more popular in UK.

Wow, I just saw some for sale on AudiogoN.com They command some pretty steep prices, on the order of Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, and other premium boxes.

Yes, they are very good speakers. Their drivers are also often used in DIY projects.
