I haven't looked into pricing. Anthony sent/lent these to me, so that I could demo them at the upcoming rave, and he didn't have a set of floor stands to send me. For some background, I've known Anthony since '94 when I bought my Solos, from him, at his home in Brooklyn. At the time his distribution isn't what it is now, and with no dealers in the area he was willing to sell to me directly. We stayed in touch for a while after that, he tweeked my Solos and I later upgraded to References, and again to the Al References. But communication back in the '90s isn't what it is now, so eventually we lost touch. I had seen that the business had moved to CA, and I assumed Anthony had too. Not too long ago, I reconnected with him via computer technology, when I found that he'd moved to NJ, and we've visited a few times and been communicating pretty regularly ever since.
