I've heard through the grape vine that the next shipment of these will cost $4k instead of $2,500. That kind of levels the playing field a little. It take them out of my reach anyway.
If that's true, then that's fairly ridiculous... A $1,500 price raise? These would go from a must buy at $2,500 to being heavily scrutinized and compared with other options, including a used Dynaudio C1 among others.
Mine are set to arrive later this week. While my gear isn't inexpensive, it's not mega-buck either (iMac serving WAV files through Audirvana+; Neko Audio D100MKII DAC; Aaron No.1.a Integrated Amp). I'd be happy to post feedback after hooking them up and giving them a chance to settle/burn in.
FWIW, these will be replacing Harbeth Compact 7ES-3's.
I picked my pair up yesterday and I can truly say that these speakers are spectacular! I will post more impressions after they break in, but so far? Wow! My Maggie 1.7s will be going up for sale today.
