I own the 1028be. I've had them for a few months now and just love them. I upgraded from 1008. I had demoed the 1008s and compared against several brands in store including B&W, Sonus Faber, Thiel. The 1008s busted my budget at the time, but they blew me away. the Be tweeter was quite the standout. I couldn't afford them, but went home with them anyway.
I run the 1028s with Simaudio Moon electronics, and Nordost Frey interconnects and speaker cable. The 1028s are not harsh in my setup.
