Does anyone know these speaker's as the review I found placed them in the $10,000.00 category!!! :thinking:
One of my suppliers has them listed @ R 18,995.00 RRSP (Cost is around R5K less).

"Summing Up
With a footprint no larger than that of a bookshelf speaker on its stand, Sony's SS-NA2ES is beautifully finished, and offers low coloration, high sensitivity, accurate and stable stereo imaging, and enough low frequencies to be musically satisfying.
To get the bad news out of the way, the SS-NA2ES doesn't sound quite as superb, overall, as Sony's SS-AR2. The good news is that, at $10,000 rather than $20,000/pair, the SS-NA2ES offers its owner 90% of the performance of the SS-AR2 for 50% of its price. Unless your collection consists of naturally recorded jazz and classical recordings, the speaker's top-octave balance will require a little more care in system matching than the SS-AR2's, but with that proviso, I confidently recommend the SS-NA2ES."
