This model is often compared to Tannoy Gold and Red dual concentric drivers;
As far as I know, availability is extremely limited, far harder to find than monitor Gold.

I ran single drivers side to side with absolutely neutral sounding high power Yamaha MX-800 (170 WPC RMS, virtually non-existent THD/IMD), at approximately 1-3 Watts output, and these are the main differences:

1. Golds have higher power handling with obviously more headroom;
2. Vitavox sound more "delicate", more "musical", it's like they are singing compared to Tannoy

I haven't heard this kind of delicacy/intimacy/naturalness in any other speaker, and I've heard many hundreds.
There's no piercing horn signature sound that's the only drawback of Golds.

Bottom line is, if I had a pair of DU-120 I would have kept them for myself. They can be driven with as little as 2 Watts of tube power amplifiers and the sound is nothing short of fantastic.

15" Vitavox were known to be used in full size theater installations, along with Klangfilm amps.
Apparently, 12" Vitavox are for hardcore audiophile home setups.
DU 120 was intended to be used with a high quality single ended tube amplifier, to fully reveal its beauty.
Still, it sounds astoundingly good with a solid state amp.

Current value for a matched pair of these appears to be CAD $1500, per June 4, 2017 Saskatchewan sale:
