Bought from Japan (took a week or two to get here), I had just assembled all the relevant DIY bits (even drilled holes in the boxes and given them a first coat of under-paint) then Jake put up his ready-built pair, which I nabbed on the weekend.
So my untouched pair (never out of the packet) are available at what I paid (£43 shipped) - save the wait and the customs/handling charge. Add £2 if you want the speaker posts, wires and boxes I bought for it just to cover the extra postage. PPG please on this.
The 'BeePure' built-up ones I bought from Jake (same bar the fancy exernals - they use the same ribbon) are 39,800 Yen / £280 a pair and do definitely add an extra dimensionality to the reproduction - they arrived today and look like staying.
