And have you checked out Nuance's website? No product info, no independant reviews, nothing.... why? Because there's obviously something about their stuff they don't want you to know.

Sorry about that little rant, it's just that companies like Nuance diminish the glory of otherwise reputable Canadian speaker makers. On that note, I have a pair of Sinclair Audio Brighton SBT-3600s, and they're fantastic, especially for their price point. Anyone interested in a great pair of Canadian designed and researched speakers should give them a look, you can't go wrong at their price point.
You know i checked out sinclair the other day at a local stereo shop, it looks like some pretty good stuff. As a matter of fact the guy told me that iKon and Sinclair are actually designed and built by the same guys, kinda like how energy mirage and athena are produced by API. Check out the Sinclair website and the iKon website... THE LAYOUTS ARE IDENTICAL! Also if you look at the photo with the brighton series and the photo with the iKon setups they look very similiar in the way there set-up.
