I agree with Coli...price to condition. Determine how much you want to spend and what a fair price is for the condition of the speakers,
Guidelines for buying used speakers (as in, are there any?)
HI,
Can anyone offer up some suggestions or guidelines for buying used speakers?
Initially I thought 5 years old max, buy from original (and only) owner, half original retail.
But then ...
Found some nice Zu Omen Defs ($1350) but they've had 2 owners.
Also found some Vandersteen 2c signatures ($900 + $100 shipping) but they're 10 years old and, again, 2 owners.
So you can see my guidelines may be preventing me from getting very high quality speakers at a good price.
The Defs I can listen to and physically examine; the Vandersteens would be purchased online.
Thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
