They are pretty amps.  Already over $2k.  I am placing my bet that the ending sale price will be $6800 ish.

BTW BrianT has a set of these and will be bringing them down to Carverfest in September.

I just checked (Sunday Morning) and they are at $3800.00 they will go up a lot more.
I am looking forward to be bringing my MODIFIED set down to CF10 this year.

Yes I said modified, I removed the 12xKT88 Silver Eagle tubes, and replaced them with
12x KT88z Black Bottle tubes.  ;D

The overall sound has changed for the better, highs that just float in the air and deeper bass.
But Tom, you will be able to make that judgment for yourself at CF10,
as will be bringing the KT88 Silver Eagles and the KT88z Black Bottle tubes. That way you can do some tube rolling.

Probably Dave S. and James at it again.  (J/K)  They aren't going to let anyone else have his tubes!!!

Bob has another set on eBay.  Wonder if this set will hit the $10k mark.
