Only recently discovered these Fostex speakers.
Price is ¥2,178,000(税込)/1台 which I assume means for 1 unit. So take two zeroes off thats roughly a whopping $21,780 per unit.
Design is 3-way Bass Reflex with 12-inch (30cm) woofer, 5-inch (13cm) mid-range, 0.78-inch (20mm) tweeter.
It seems to include an Accuphase "PRO-30" Power Amplifier (well at least they list the full specifications including dimensions of the PRO-30 in the RS-N2 Spec sheet).

Low frequency extension strangely rolls-off early for a 12-inch woofer with Bass Reflex design according to the Frequency Response (maybe a compromise of the "Hyperbolic Paraboloidal Rotation" diaphragm since the GX250MG also suffers from the same average bass extension), but I thought maybe some here would be interested to know the RS-N2 exists.
- the RS-2 is the same model but with black speaker cones instead of yellow.
- I assume due to its pricing this is a professional/commercial use product. In Japan many professionals in film/TV/music industries probably see this speaker everyday and consider it a “tool” and are not aware of the model name.
