Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?


Hi folks, reading & absorbing as much as I can in the Learn forum, question from a novice in this field, is it safe to purchase used or sight unseen a pair of hi-end speakers? Are speakers considered "too old?" Does it effect the sound too much? Thanks

I can mention one thing that has not been mentioned. There are knock offs of speakers recently that are being sold as new and authentic. This used to be a huge problem back in the late 70's / early 80's where people would sell them out of vans. Watch out right now for Harbeth knock offs. For more information visit their web site and read Alan Shaws information about it. Harbeth's are some of the most well reviewed and regarded speakers in the industry.
