friend of mine but i have no $ interest

Pretty cool looking, but this makes no sense. He wants $850

or

but I'm open to trades for a high-end Class A or AB solid state amp plus cash if necessary.

High End Class A amp would be more than the speakers if any good.

if i'm reading this right, the drivers retail for $800 each:

the technical side of me is always fascinated by things which you can see the insides of while they are in operation, however...

the more practical side of me realizes that those would be a PITA to keep all of the dust off/out of, at least in my situation, maybe others have figured out how to make dust go away but i sure havnt

very cool looking speakers though

Your friend lives in my county. Interesting speakers.

totally straight up guy. i'm sure he'd audition these for you.

wharfedale used to make little socks to keep dust out of their drivers. i think they have very narrow gaps in the voice coil.

i have 2 sets of open baffle speakers and have had no issue w/ dust (which we have in our house; plus cat hair...).
