I twisted some arms, and use some contacts in the Chinese mob, and look what I got today in the mail, well actually FedEx and went like one hour trip to get them....Removed all the plastic casing, wrapping, and here I am....Ah, BTW this box and packing, is from the original Images X10, the golden ones, as the package for these are not ready yet, AFAIK:
OMG!!!...So far so good, a little burning in, as usual, some salt, pepper, and will let you know later on.....
Sorry for the lousy picture...

How much are these going to go for? Just curious...
According to the press release linked to in the original post, they'll be "Priced at $249 (U.S. MSRP)." I'm very curious to hear about the sonic differences, too. In the Klipsch dedicated forums, Amy says they're reported to have less bottom end, but clearer highs. In this FAQ, Klipsch says the original Image (aka the X10) "provides superior bass response." Looks like we're pretty light in the impressions department so far...so I can't wait for your comparisons, Sovkiller!
Any word on when this summer we'll be seeing them for sale?

Well till now that is exactly my impressions, the bottom end is not so accentuated (I feel the Image a little on the bassy side) while it still retains a lot of weight and texture in the bass, it is true that IMO it shows cleaner highs and mids, IMO the X10 was more dedicated to comfort and style, and X5 more oriented to an audiophile market, they are not ready for a real comparison yet, but if I have to choose one, the X5 will be my choise...

They both use armature drivers, about the differences, you may need to wait for them to post what are those, as honestly I have no clue, but they do sound diferent...
