I did see a few of there entry level models, 2 or so years ago. They also mentioned they have pre-owned machines available at a significant discount. Never-the-less, they we in the $20k-$30k range at that point and do not see them coming down in price, yet. They are truly accurate and relatively fast. </span></div><div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4742"> </div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4766"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4765"><font size="2" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4764">Sincerely, <br> </font></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4768"><font size="2" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4767">Chris Juried <br>Audio Engineering Society (AES) <var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>Member <br>InfoComm-Recognized AV Technologist</font><span class="postbody" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4783"><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.juriedengineering.com/">http://www.JuriedEngineering.com</a> (Juried Engineering, LLC.)</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4785"><font size="3" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4791"><font size="2" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457001560489_4790"><br><br>This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
