:jawdrop: :drool: :drool: :drool:Me WANT 'em! :yes: ...but alas, me no get 'em right now.
I'm moving, and drastically downsizing as it is. The last thing I need right now is another good-sized, premium-priced pair of speakers, no matter how nice and how rare they are. Besides, these are outside my current audio budget, even before shipping. Someone sure should be happy to get those, though! :yes:

Arkay,
You are the only one I know that may have had the chance to audition a pair at some point. Have you?
If these were in the US, I'd be selling some gear and picking these up. The price seems reasonable (although it's just the starting price of an auction I believe). Talk about a true Holy Grail speaker. Man.:drool:

If they only were $6500.....maybe....but I think that price is closer to $65,000. That would take a lot of selling of current gear to get that much together....unfortunately more gear than I own!:tears:

"Thou shall beware of thine commas"- thanks for spotting that!
Of all Yama-wranglers here, I would have expected you to be the most likely...
Auction link removed, cheers.
THat same pair of GF-1 was for auction at 8000000 yens and got no bids
I guess these time will be the same.... The last sold in hifido went for
1800000, doubt they can sell them for a much higher price.
Hifido is usually moore expensive than japanauctions but I rather buy from them
Im in the hifido waithing list
Regards

Just ran across this and had a thought... can you imagine getting the single one AND the pair? Use the single one for the center channel, the pair for main R and L channels, and fill in the rear with NS-2000s. What a surround/theater system that could be! Sigh...

They are one of only two surviving pairs known to the Vintage Knob historians (these are S/N 19A/B, the others are 17A/B).

They'd been in HiFiDo storage for 5 years of slow and thorough maintanance work.
I took the bullet train to Nagoya to give these a listen today, and guess what? :O
