I am going to audition a pair of these bad boys in a few days (the gen I), and the seller is firm on $1500 for the pair. The pics put them at about 8 out of 10 cosmetically. Assuming they are hale and whole, is that still a good deal here in the year 2015?

The Bluebook on this site becomes more useless each day.

You could do far worse. Taste is key here, the VS house sound may not be your cup of tea. But it is mine!

Thanks for the replies. My current speakers are PSB Stratus Golds, so I'm not sure the VS's will necessarily be an improvement. You may now wonder why I'm even looking in the first place. Well, other than the typical audiophile's insatiable need to always be upgrading, I have noticed a slight sibilance in these speakers with my newly-setup room, which is about 13' x 20'. I could be convinced the source is from inadequate room treatment...but then I couldn't justify going and auditioning new speakers.
