Sony electrostatic speakers japan only?

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?

there is a guy andrew who has a site i've come across now and then and FINALLY have bookmarked it. it takes a long time to load but worth it. it's full of links and little mini-reviews. the guy is seriously deep into hifi and you have to wonder if he ever leaves his house his site is so extensive. i saw the speakers listed there and andrew writes that they are the greatest elecrostats he's ever heard by a long shot. i saw a picture of these about a year ago so they aren't 'that' new and might even be old. if anyone reads japanese let us know what these things are about cause they do look sweet (and i hate to say that about any sony product but sometime the truth hurts).
