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:
Throw away your amps! Not often these are up for sale, and when they are they're usually at a boutique store.
Yah** Auctions Japan. About $6,500.

"Thou shall beware of thine commas"- thanks for spotting that!If they only were $6500.....
There was a single GF-1 for sale at Japan Yahoo auctions for well over 2 years.
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...
Would you be so kind as to post some details of the experience?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
