Over in Barter Town there is a pair of the M7a with stands for a grand. The discussions in the dumpster dive thread here, you know the one where Nando is holding back on posting pics of his recent theft from his friend, Keith for well below market price on three truck loads of very well kept gear, says these Sony SS speakers are good but not great. If one can buy a very nice set of Dahlquist DQ-10s for a good bit below a grand and they are all that as far as speakers go, world renowned and still very well respected today, seems those Sonys are a bit too high.
For a grand...Dahlquist, maybe even the 20i or 30i along with the 10s plus subs for that money, Magneplanars with real ribbon tweeters, 2.5, 2.6, any of the threes III or 3. whatever. There are plenty of others that might be all that for less than the price of those 7s.
Actually, used speaker prices amaze me at times and maybe I'll talk to that in a later thread...JBL L-100s values are a prime example of a bad sounding speaker getting the bucks from some clueless buyer that just have to have JBL L100s.
