They are in mint cond.Let me know,I will make you a good deal on them. email sranelli@netscape.net
I have had a pair of EPOS ES-11's for 9 years, and they continue to amaze not only me but most everyone that comes to my house. Why does Roy Hall place in the top 5 every year at every audio show with his Creek/EPOS combo? Because they make music, not etched detailed thin sounding crap like most hyper expensive crap out there. I see EPOS 11/12's with stands for the $525-$575 range every once in a while.
norwex B-2 Nisse demo-set with full warranty (5 years parts & labor). Retail is $995/pair. This pair is $597 in black lacquer with minor cosmetic imperfections. Look at review performed by SoundStage! on their web site: www.soundstage.com. Click on audio. Also see norwex web site: http://norwex.homepage.com. If interested contact Harald Aasland at norwex@cfw.com.
Totem Arrows, not sure if they can be found as low as $500 but if you can find them, I think you will like them. In the latest The Absou!ute Sound a number of writers included them in their best budget systems.
Alon Petites. I saw a pair for $600 used. Stands and Black Orepheus bi-wire (or was it tri-wire????) included.
...depends on your music taste too! So i would suggest all-rounders: Dynaudio Audience 40, Triangle Titus, B&W CDM 1, Tannoy R1 For classical: Opera Seconda (tonaly rich), Linn Tukan ( for detail chamber, small orchestra)
You can save some money and the uncertainty of buying used if you check out the Sound Dynamics RTS-3s on Audioadvisor.com. These sub-$300 speakers will blow away a lot of speakers at twice or three-times the price. Reviews may be found on The Absolute Sound website (although you may have to pay a few bucks to read them) or on audioreview.com.
