Sony electrostatic speakers japan only?

Anyone have any info on these sony electrostats, model ss-r10?? apparently these are only sold in japan. i can't get the link below to revert to english. which might be for the best because they look really cool and very expensive. anyone know anything? should i start obsessing or not?

Wow, those do look wild. I couldn't get it to translate to English either. I bet you need a big stack of green to acquire those puppies.

Look interesting, but unlikely to be good as the upcomming
Magnepan MG-20.1 or similar Martin Logan.

Whatjd, what's with your comment? You know next to nothing about the product, yet you voice an opinion about its sound quality. Please educate us further.

Key word is unlikely...perhaps it is a great product. Sony
has not shown us much for high-end speakers, Martin Logan
and Magnepan have a good track record. Perhaps someone
in Japan can join in on this thread. I believe that both
Martin Logan and Magnepan are sold there..hopefully someone
or perhaps an audio mag. has had the chance to review them.
Wonder if there are any reviews available on-line?
