    They look like they may cost a bit more than $500 a pair. :#

    I see now that Paul McGowan says in his blog post the street price should be around $25K. Passive radiators, time aligned drivers, ribbon tweeters front and rear. For all that the price seems on par with other speakers people with big bucks to spend on semi-flagship speakers may be looking at.

    semi-flagship.
    now, that's an intereresting, aspirational market niche.

    I guess it was like Mercury in the Ford-Lincoln-Mercury days.
    Or Buick in GM's heyday (or maybe Oldsmobile).

    Wasn’t Buick the “Gentleman’s”car? What were you if you bought a Chevy?
