I have seen the AT 605's going for stupid money too...lucky for me, I found a set of 8 locally for $40 last year. I was in the market for some isolation feet and these fit the bill perfectly. They look great too. :yes:

LOVE my SA8003 and won't give it up, ever. It was a huge buy for me, but I think it was well worth it. I don't think anything under $1K could beat it head-to-head. I'm not sure if I have even really "heard" this unit though, as I have it hooked up to a vintage tube integrated/speakers ...but with all do respect have been brought back to specifications by some of the best in the biz (see signature). I sure would like to hear it with some new fangled modern components like yours. I'm probably only missing the most extreme frequency response, which I probably can't even hear, but it would be cool to know it's still being reproduced. Nevertheless, it sounds amazing in my rig.
