Your question relates to "value" which is a purely personal decision. Value is relative so no one here can, nor should we, decide if anything is worth the price. If you like them and they sound better than everything else you've heard in the price class then yes, they are worth it. Some people will look at a Mercedes E55 AMG which is $92,000usd and still consider this a screaming bargain...for a mid-sized sedan!

FWIW, there's a pair for sale on videogon.com right now. Check under "main speakers."

Hope this helps.

Well based on the repair history of Mercedes - no doubt the owner will be screaming.

That's a good one :).

Hey, at least DCX was finally able to climb back into the Top Ten in the latest JD Power IQS. They moved up two spots to number ten!

Still rather have a Bimmer...
