These are fantastic, accurate little near field monitors. These deceptively heavy rascals put out an amazing amount of bass for their size. Nice wood cabinets, great quality. It would be hard to imagine better speakers at the same size. Very revealing, great soundstage, crisp highs, non fatiguing. These are so much better than what the vast majority use for their computers.
Here's some info on them from JBL and Lansing Heritage:

Unfortunately I haven't found any information on what their original cost was.
Here's a picture of mine:
Hi, in Japan, they were sold 136'000 Yen.
