A market for DIY speakers on AudioGon ?

I have a pair of Vifa towers I recently completed building and like all fanatics I am ready to build another pair but find I am running out of room. I recently joined AudioGon and purchase my first piece of equipment.

My question is this... Are there buyers for nice DIY speakers out there or would that be inappropriate or a waste of time to try selling ?

Details: These are walnut over MDF. MTM using all VIFA (scan-speak - Danish versions) drivers. Each tower has (2) P17WJ00 6.5"

On Madisound:

and a single Vifa Tweeter D27TG35

The XO use higher quality Caps and is a LEAP design. The boxes are ported and the ports are in the back and they use a gold plated banana plug posts.

Is this something that someone could be interested in for purchase? I just do not want to waste my time but I would love to find a buyer as these sound fantastic with great imaging. I have over $400 in cost in the pair. I am a wood worker and did all the cabinet design and finishing myself.

they have about 75 hours on them - almost broke in now.

Your thoughts ?

PS: I am not trying to use the forum to sell these only to get feedback as to whether it would be worthwhile to use the Sell features here?

There is a small market here for your speakers because there is always an audio enthusiast who will be willing to give your speakers a shot. Just be ready for tons of questions and don't be surprised if you are going to take a big hit on the money and time you have spent. I've seen lots of listings for DIY speakers, amps and preamps here on Audiogon. Under the new Audiogon marketplace there is even a DIY section now. I have no idea though how much the sellers made or loss on the transactions of their DIY gear.

Good luck.
