Hello there. I am on the speaker upgrade route and have been offered what I think to be a good deal on a set of Axiom speakers. I'm here to find out if it really IS a good deal, or if Axiom speakers used to cost less than they do now, or if they didn't use to be as good (the set is 1.5 - 2 years old or so). Or any other problem I might encounter...

An acquaintance is selling:

(2) M60 v2
(2) QS8 (not v2 - probably ti?)
(2) FMS stands
(1) VP150 v2
(1) EP500 v2 (do all of the EP500 v2 have the latest technology?)

He is asking for $1500 for all of the above. Knowing that the current price on the Axiom website is over $3000, I thought that there had to be a catch. He also said they were in excellent condition.

So can anyone tell me... is there a catch? Should I jump on this?

Also, does anyone know if the Boston Cherry is even a close match to the studiotech Rosewood TV stands? They look similar online, but that doesn't say much for in person...
