You should reconsider.
I just auditioned them with a monster 220v KRELL 'coffee table' and a SME phono and I almost think it would be worth it... of course, YMMV.

I test the F75/65 and the Specialized Gerolsteiner Allez Comp (FULL 105) and ended up with the Allez. Both road nice, but the Specialized just felt, well, faster. YMMV.
