    At the entry fee i suspect those are well past the point of diminishing returns for the typical Altec enthusiast.

    All that said, i'd like to spend some time comparing them to originals.
    I Agree 100%.

    Yeah, he's asking about $1600 just for each handmade cone, if you figure his price against the price of a set of new 416. They may be nice, but not that nice.
