It seems once bought never sold - about as good a recommendation as you can get. €6000 new (I prefer the look of the originals with the bling cone plugs)... Better start saving lol...

It is the originals I've heard, on their correct stands.
They were imported into the UK by C R Developments (the valve amp company) if I remember. The company is now C R Electronic Design. Who knows, they may still have a pair. Might be worth speaking to them. I can't afford any at the moment. http://www.crelectronicdesign.com/

I have never taken an interest in, or heard, any French speakers.
Focal are meant to be good, I understand.
Come to that, has there been any outstanding French Hi-Fi kit ?
Can't say I recall anything special, but
Micromega comes to mind with their CD players from the '80s.

Here's a pair of JMR currently for sale on fleabay.. Am I being paranoid but the driver looks like it's been photoshopped (smudged) to hide a tear or hole - am I being paranoid?
