From what I've seen from my Chinese friend's magazines, they are probably custom made by someone we've never even heard of, only available in Hong Kong. Who knows - maybe some crazy expensive stuff in Dubai, too, but that's just a WAG on my part. Just imagine the wealthiest place on earth, that's where I'm guessing you'd have to go.
As far as comparing to other speakers, from what I expereinced at 2 CES/THE shows, there is little, if any, correlatiopn between price and performance. I went into room after room of good but not fabulous sound being played by equipment of all different price points. There were a few rooms that stood out, but they were't necessarily the most expensive rooms. Sometimes, I think you're just paying for the price.
