Sonus Faber Concertino/Piccolo for $700?

It sounds like a good deal!

1. Is it?
2. Can these be used for the front of a home theater or would they not be able to handle the sound levels?
3. Can anyone comment on the sound? If I recall correctly, Sonus is laid back. I am a Nautilus/Klipsch/Paradigm type listener. Will I find the Sonus' boring, lacking highs, etc?
4. Do you need a high-end reciever/seperates to drive these? Will a Denon AVR3300 work?

Just curious on possibly making a speaker purchase just for the sake of it being a good deal.

Thanks!
