B&W 601 Maharishi in White

Hey Guys,

I came across an ebay listing last night that took my breath away (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bowers-Wilkins-B-W-DPM-X-Maharishi-601-S3-Speakers-Pair-Limited-Edition-/301149231980?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item461de49b6c). I see this gentleman is looking for an offer for these rare speakers, and I also have a pair.

When I got them ~10 years ago, I was told that they were awarded to the best B&W salespeople around the globe. My sales rep was a lucky winner, and wasn't interested in keeping them, so he offered them to me for a reasonable price. I've looked periodically to see if any have been up for sale, but haven't seen a set before. I also tried to get an estimate from the Blue Book, but didn't see any info.

Any of you know the story behind this particular model and version? Is it really limited to only 90 pair as his listing states?

I've never considered selling them, but if they are in fact anywhere near that valuable, I would want to store them differently.

Thanks!

Brent
