Mike - If you are seriously considering these speakers, it may be worth paying Audiogon the $19.95 for a 30 day subscription to their Blue Book prices. This allows you to see what sales prices have been reached through Audiogon on the specific models that you are looking at. I did notice that there was sales information on at least some of the models that you are looking at. I think that $0.50 on the dollar may be too much to offer given the circumstances. I have purchased used equipment through Audiogon but have not used the Blue Book before.
I've seen the Blue Book pricing (a friend subscribes) on some used models.
It is indeed a handy tool to get an idea of what certain brands are reselling in cost. Still, 10-15k for a speaker set is rather pricey. Too much name association and not enough performance return.
At least if they were huge
or funky looking monstrosities to add some amount of style worthy of an architectural pricing, then maybe.
