I too was hoping for an earlier release as one of my drivers in my klf-30 cabinet was damaged (along with the cabinet) during our move into our new home. I refinished and glued the cabinet, just have to order the driver. I was going to use this even as an excuse with the wife to get the new klipsch speakers, which I still hope are a three way design.
Guess I'll wait. I listened to the studio 100 and just couldn't see spending all that money for what sounded like not a big difference in sound quality from my klf's. Hope these new klipsch hit a home run.
