Geez, you could buy 2 or 3 M400's for that price, and they'd sound a heck of a lot better. On second though, an M4000, and have plenty of cash left over for the required fluid stimulants.

Had a lot of access to their gear at the factory (in the distant past), and ncluding Patrick Moraz's triple.
Dave (Van Koevering) is a hell of a nice guy, but the technology just didn't work then, or now.

An expensive novelty at very best, and nothng more.

This item falls in the category of I have this thing that's a piece of  
shit but it's a RARE piece of shit, therefore it's got to be worth a  
lot of money. eBay is full of auctions like this -- and the stuff sells!
