I heard that has been the case for some time now. Dunno, after discovering Kim Ahrends' work, I sold my last set of Spegels years ago. Not because I didn't like them; they are primo. But because somebody offered me stupid money for them, and Ahrends stock are just as good, IMO.
I'd look at Ahrends' offering before mortgaging my first-born for a used set of Spegels, if I were you...
