I bought a near mint condition pair of Klipsch Cornwalls 7 years ago from a guy who's wife "Just couldn't stand the way they looked anymore! " for $600.
I've found ads in the local newspaper for a pair of Klipsch LaScalas for $200, and 4 Spendor LS3/5A's for $400. Needless to say, they'd both been sold by the time I got the paper :frowning:

My JM Reynaud Offrandes to me are worth their 4.3K MSRP. In fact I had decided to lay that money down for them. However upon calling him to order, he informed me that he was willing to part with his current demo pair for only $2500 and they only had ~300 hours on them. Needless to say I was happy. $4300 was really gonna hurt my budget of $3000, but I really wanted those things.

I'd say $2000 a pair and they better look as gorgeous as they sound. I don't think of myself as an audiophile, not sure if I would hear a difference further up.

I paid $245 for used JBL S38s. I would pay $300 for them before a DIY setup.
Chris,

Are you saying you'd rather spend $300 on the S38's than for a DIY kit? That makes sense to me as I haven't seen a DIY kit that included cabinets for $300 that I'd really be interested in. But if you could build your own cabinets, I'd guess the $300 would be better spent on the kit. Just my personal opinion. If I were looking for a "budget" speaker, the S38's would be on a short list.

If you want to talk subs, I got a CS Ultra 2 days ago at the normal $959. If I paid double that, I would still think I got a great deal.
