$7,000--Sounds like a U47 or $300--Looks like a U47
Wow! Designed in Germany. Radical new eliptical capsule design that's supposed to eliminate inter-freqency harmonics. Fat tube. Fat transformer. Only $6,995. The new Bock 5-Zero-7.
--OR--
Also from Germany, The Vintage T47 appears to be a Chinese knock-off, like many others.
Do you get what you pay for? Will the difference of around $6,650 make you sound better enough to earn the additional income to pay for it?
Stay tuned.

I interviewed David Bock about his 507 when he first showed it publicly, at TransAudio's Audio Underground Roadshow last September. Here's the story; click through on the mic picture to see the full specs on the 507 -- the elliptical capsule, conceived by George Cardas, and the U-47-type tube circuit:
