Price is $210 each, and they are definitely larger and heavier than the BK-16s (which are $98 each).

They're a bit hard to find on the website, so I saved y'all the detective work...

Ed, nice find, but OUCH! I should have waited for your find!

During my last visit to Tokyo in October I ordered a pair of BK-20s from a Tokyo DIY speaker shop called "Koizumi Musen" for 43,200Y (~$400US) and had them
shipped to Boston for 16000Y (~$145US) S&H. I also bought a pair of T90A Fostex super tweeters.

Koizumi Musen has interesting adjustable width backloaded horn enclosure kits as well as affordable tube amplifier kits:

According to my wife, the BK-20s arrived at our front door in two HUGE, heavy boxes.
I had to tell her that they were not somthing that she was expecting for Christmas. Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_01
I am going to use them to house a pair of JBL LE8T-Hs that I got from Ebay a few years ago. The depth of the mouting location is not deep enough for LE8Ts (the alnico version).
