Have you gone to demo a pair of new???? You don't have to buy to listen and talk even with a rep..not at Magnolia, but a place that sells high end equip...this makes a world of difference. You want to be sure that you get what you are looking for relative to your dimensions and room scenario |
|
Where are you? I do not see this mentioned in any of the posts.

i have a word in to all of the surrounding b&w dealers around a 100 mile radius. i do not want to buy new. |
Patience is the key...Have you demo these speakers yet?? The Magnolia Stores around you might carry these or find one that does...You do have a Diamond dealer in Jacksonville (Sound Installation) just north of you or (Premier Electronics Solutions in Melbourne) and that's where I would head, because they should have what you are looking for so you can hear them yourself. |
i have done the Google as well... well... i guess it is just a waiting game. any other ideas?
thanks bill |
i wrote the post and they said they were in Germany. |
Last time I stopped in, Park Avenue Audio in Manhattan had a pair (or trio) of well cared for 802Ds. :) |
"05-28-12: Baranowski the site is in the usa but the post for the speakers is in Germany."
What makes you think they're in Germany? Just curious. |
the site is in the usa but the post for the speakers is in Germany. |
The 800 sig. that I mentioned on audioasylum is located in USA, didn't list the zip. |
audioasylum is in Germany... i don't want to head down that road. |
thank you.... i will keep an eye out. i am hoping for something close by. i have learned that there are way too many scamers out there. |
Audioconsultants.com (Chicago)has 802n listed as used. Audioclassics.com had some 802s not long ago, excellent dealer, two time happy customer. |
If you are just looking on the craigslist for your local area, don't overlook trying a google search which may turn up craiglist ads in other cities (as well as ads on other sites that you might not even have thought of). Of course, craigslist can be pretty risky since there is no seller rating / feedback mechanism. I wouldn't buy off of craigslist unless the seller was close enough to buy from in person. |
Audioasylum.com has a pair of 800 signatures listed, or wait till a legit pair turns up here. |
Try this guy too...he use to be one here, he has now gone to Ebay for whatever reason. I have spoken to him several times about his items and my needs about my system and its conception. Very nice and easy to deal with and he usually gets some really nice used B&W speakers...his name on ebay is as it was here toooo...don2005digland Although in AZ...he ships well and you would be satisfied with your new purchase |
Keep an eye out at htguide.com/forum
They have a B&W forum and have a classifieds section |
that guy has been flagged as a fraud 3 times. he has a post on there ugh now but ue changed his location this time. i am learning that there is a great deal of fraud for these speakers down here. i am in daytona... |
Patience is needed if you are looking for used...They will come along...Where are you located??? There is a guy in FL that continues to put his 802 N's up, don't think they've sold yet |
