I mean I'd only be getting them because I love Gattons sound and since I play a lot of his tunes I thought why not have the same sound. I still can't justify that 200+ price tag, considering you can get really good pickups for half that.
Same reason Audiophile gurus prefer low wattage speakers to high output ones; they retain the Hi Fi value of the true sound. I have a set of old KLH speakers and the bass response is so sweet.
