Until you hear one...
Nah $500 is a good spot for these imo. That's what I paid. I also think the HD800 should be about $700 south from its current standing, and that pretty much nothing but the 009 deserves a price above it, so take that as you will.
Conversely, I now place the DR-Z7 at about $250 at most. For some better metrics: AKG Q701 at $200 is good. Etymotic ER-4S is reasonable at $300 too.
The yamaha hp-1, measured in the same lot, came out better in terms of fidelity than the sansui, so I assume you'd put the yamas at 500 € or so as well. Yet I see them selling for less than 100 €, which I assume to mean that the sansui should also be less than 100 € to get your money's worth. Incidentally, the k 701 that I had was significantly on par with the sennheiser hd 530 that I have, which cost about 30 €. For that reason, I might even suggest that your prices would best be divided by 6 to get my prices.
