Does this sound like a good deal?

I found a guy selling a YAQUIN" MC-13S he wanted 600$ but I got him down to 400$ it's never been used just taken out of the box for photos. I have seen nothing but excellent reviews on these but non the less would like some more opinions. I don't even own a set of speakers I wasn't even intending on buying this but I thought the 400$ mark was a steal considering the reviews I have seen. So even after I get it it will be a paper weight till I can afford some speakers after I catch up from the 400$ I'm about to spend. I thought maybe some words of encouragement could be nice haha. Does anyone have any speaker recommendations?

What's your price point? Book shelf or floor stander? 

There are so many to recommend...

  1. Martin Logan motion series 15
  2. Dali Zensor series (eBay has good prices on them)
  3. Vintage JBL L-100 or 4312 is another name for them on used market (might have to re-do the x-over due to capacitors drying out) but worth it. They have warmth to the sound that's unlike any modern offerings I heard...I am enjoying them these days...
  4. Accessories4less.com has many good speakers heavily discounted : Canton, Kef LS50 for half off, Boston Acoustics A26 (truly affordable gem of a speaker), Focal, etc.

   Great! Some audiophiles swear by tubes, although I for one also like the sound of Krell and McIntosh solid state amps.

   I am happy for you on a good deal - enjoy your new find...

   Will look into that in the future - I do like the warm and romantic sound of tubes but also fast and powerful sound of SS, so what you say makes sense...
