That is a good price, they were twice that on clearance a few years ago. If it's not a misprint, that would be a bargain.

[Ed Zeppeli]

What are the drivers in these? Are they cast/pro frames?

Good price either way.

The L on the end has me wondering if it isn't per speaker, mine are 4312DBKL and 4312DBKR and the price was nearly exactly twice what this is. Seems like the tweeter is an 054Ti or something, 2213Nd woofer, but not the dual voice coil like the 4312E, 105H mid.

they are per pair...type in 2 in the quantity box, then click on add to cart..then you'll see your total which is under $800...so, there you go...plus free shipping and 30 day money back guarantee (providing you have the original box and they are in as new condition)

i have a question...how would it sound if you bought 2 pairs and stacked them...2 per channel? thanks...

I suspect that they have made a mistake and that they will fix it soon. If not, it looks like a nice business opportunity.

I suspect a pair is two lefts.

oh...well, i suppose it doesn't hurt to ask...call them tomorrow at 9 am est?

Was thinking about it, but don't want to left's.

i don't either...what do these babys usually go for?

ok, i called...i talked to a tech, and he said my 300 wpc bryston amp is too much for the 4312d's true?

then i called the sales dept, and they told me it is a matched pair. take that for what you will.

they also told me the stock is low but not real low. in addition that is in fact $389 a pair, not each

finally, how much can i get for the s4700s if i decide to sell...perhaps these would be a backwards move, but i got bills to pay...a lot. i really can't have too much money tied up in stereo equipment...besides, i wanna travel, and just enjoy life rather than being stuck in the house with the s4700s...from what people are saying around here, they're not that good and they're overpriced...they're already 4 years old and i don't wanna be stuck with the damn things...

Most folks use a preamp or some other means of controlling the amplifier so the amp isn't always running at full power into the speaker - I imagine you are, too. So the speaker will never know how powerful the amp connected to it is if it's not run wide open.

Price is certainly tempting. I believe I've seen them selling for almost four-times that much. Since they all seem to come from Japan, the pricing we have seen may not really be competitive. But, if you want these, this is obviously a stupidly low price.

There is a newer 4312e out now ($1000 each), and remember this is a Control Monitor so basically an oddly voiced updated L100. I believe you'd be better off with a pair of 4412 or 4410 for the same money. IMNSHO, of course!

ok, cool, thanks for that...yes i do have a bryston bp6 preamp, basic stripped down pre. so, the amp is ok then, true? you wouldn't go any higher would you?
