I have this speakers and I confirm that they sound really good. The high frequencies are very detailed, in my opinion.
 
"As of this writeup MSRP is approximately $2899/pair."
Exit stage left
 
Here in Europe they are cheaper, around 2000€. I bought mine used but in perfect condition for 1100€.
 
Ah...I see. Probabably 403.2 is the newer one?

It's not just here, but smaller speakers get tested a lot more than big ones, probably because of the logistics. The measurements don't look that great.
 
I think that these prices refer to a single speaker.
That is correct, nevertheless around half of their original price which is quite good, even more considering that these belong the German ELAC models which are still manufactured there.

I had similar problem with Revel speaker here, or more serious that there is almost no dealer at all in europe.
 
I wonder if it's worth getting the 403.2s considering the price of 403s
Almost 600 EUR diff so perhaps not...
