    they do appeal - must be something about the small form factor !
    what's the rrp, out of interest? if it's straight $1990 each per the 6 moons page, then £2133 for the pair is cheaper than £2400 for a pair of mono x's

    Robert The US retail Price is $4k, at the current exhange rate if you add the shipping, import tax & Vat thats very close to £2868 for a grey import with no warranty.
    Our price is £3395 with full manufacturies warranty & back up.
    Quite happy for you to bring along a a pair of mono 'x' s for comparision. Wm

    Robert - The S300 is fantastic.
    I am planning to pop up and demo these with WM as I am very tempted by the R1000s.
    They should be totally stunning :D

    Where are your own amps WM? Are they getting on well, and can you beat these yet?
    Cheers! Tim

    the PRe3 and e.One REF1000's is the 1st package i've seen that could tempt me away from cyrus. visually, at least, they look stunning. and the $ prices are not silly money. how do they sound, tho'?, that's the key!

    Rob,
    Not any more, Esoteric are now leading the way by a pretty large margin
