Welcome to the forum! I second what everyone else has said previously. Though I would email Brian Gundy and ask him exactly what he has, I just paid a visit to him and you might be able to get something interesting in your price range. I live in the Bay Area as well (San Jose) and I just started setting up with him to buy a pair of 100% Het Pieds for a really good price. Maybe he will have something that will suite your tastes? Good luck getting a little BP! And welcome to the forum!
