Hi,
These are Japanese made and those I know who have tried them out in an A/B 
test of these against the previous stocks hated them as they sounded 
extremely trebly and the new crystals are much smaller and often times the 
smaller the crystal, the lousier the bottom end response is. There's a 
review of it at http://www.jt30.com you can check out and the review is far 
from a ringing endorsement.
