Hi, what cans are these?? are they worth that much??

Not sure how many K340's there are out there in circulation, but I wouldn't expect it is that much more than the amount of HP2's. Properly modded the K340 can compete quite well with the HP2... yet costs a fraction of the price. It is true however that a year or two back you could get the K340 for ~$120 and the average price has risen in the last while to ~$200... but they are still a steal for what you are getting. That said, while they are worth $285 easy, you could probably find them for cheaper with patience. |
