how old is too old when buying speakers?


I am considering buying Linn Tukan speakers over the net that are 5 years old. I was wondering whether people would consider this too old to buy speakers, and whether people have had good experiences in general buying audio equipment over the net? It seems a little scary buying components that are used that you have not heard.

The age in years should not be the most important issue. Depends on how the owner treated them, what kind of music he preferred to listen too (as a link to the average volume, I mean). I would not suggest buying speakers without an audition. If you can arrange this then go ahead. My AudiogoN experiences are just wonderful with just one exception and in that case a laywer friend made sure I had the check within 3 days :-)
Merry x-mas!
