Focal Stella


I am not sure if I am breaking any rules in Audiogon, I hope not.  I have a chance to purchase a pair of Stella Focal that is a demo unit for a dealer for 64K plus shipping.  I am told they are in mint condition and are a year old.  I have seen pictures.  I am not able to hear or see the unit in person.  Does anyone think this is a reasonable price for a demo unit. The dealer mentioned they can't sell demo units at one point in our conversation and that also got me a weird feeling because he is selling them  Would Focal not help repair them if I ever needed their help do to this?  Is the price ok?  Thanks I could really use some advice.  I am not really that well versed in the sales market and this would be my one and only chance to buy a forever pair of speakers.

I am also looking at the Active RBH STVR for 45K installed.  I wanted to consider a direct to consumer seller as well and RBH seems like the best.  Never heard these either and there aren't many reviews out there other than Gene Delasala who absolutely praises these. 

No the list for the Stella is 150K  270K for the Utopia and 75K for the Maestro.  I found a dealer that would sell a new pair Stella for 120K.  These are all the new EVO models I am being told.

The other issue is these speakers are overseas and I would have not much recourse if something goes wrong the dealer being so far away. 

Thank you everyone!  I really appreciate all the input.  I am going to not pursue this.  This forum is a great place.
