These are from a company called Forging Industries in Taiwan. They are made of a ceramic material. I think this seller may have put some decent drivers in them. Nevertheless, B&W has not and will never license these. Here is a link called "How do they get away with this?"

One can order these in indigo blue or piano black. Price from Forgings Industries is around $1600.00 USD a pair. Jon's face speaks a thousand words!

Spew, hack, cough.... coffee now all over screen. That pic was priceless. I'm not a big "Stereophile" reader but man that was cool. Like seeing a Pontiac Fiero with Ferrarii cladding on it. Something I did see in a Sydney Australia car show room by the by.
