I bought some of the following from ebay - [URL]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5771523730&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1[/URL] just thought I'd see what they are like, and the price wasn't to be sniffed at... when I first tried them I wasn't too impressed, but was informed that they're take time to open up, tho no mention of 'how much time' this would take... I did leave them on over the weekend for all my listening - roughly about 16-20 hours and I', still not impressed, the bass has gone... they may suit other people with other setups, but I mearly used my cdp, dac and amp (with the attenuator plugged between the amp and dac, but on the amp) and i also had the sub plugged into my amp... I've emailed the guy back asking for a refund...otherwise I'll be selling them on.. anyone else used these before, or had dealings with this seller..?
