I purchased my last few pairs of speakers new but have bought a number of speakers used over the years. Paradigm Studio 100, Klipsch CF 4 , KEF Ref 3, B&W cdm 1nt, Sonus Faber Concertino... All of them had one thing in common, I could not afford them when new.
I purchased a pair of Klipsch Heresy II for my brother a little while back. Time capsule for $500. Some great speaker deals out there. Even better if they are big and hard to move!!!
I prefer to buy speakers locally for the obvious reasons, confirming they work and avoiding shipping .
I have dealt with TMR on several occasions and they are good to deal with.
