I'm looking at those speakers as a DIY project trying to gain some selling traction off the reflected glory by comparing them to Khorns. Nobody knows what those things sound like so you have to sell the sizzle, not the steak. Most of us DIY'ers know that if we have $500 in parts then when trying to re-sell them they are worth AT MOST the cost of the drivers. The Seller is trying recoup his money for drivers and time. That's really hard to do for a $1500 one-off DIY project. As I build a lot of DIY with high end parts, I don't see anything there that would make me think he is trying to recoup parts cost for that price. Additionally you can state exaggerated sound claims but don't state bogus specs. That just points out that you are looking to dump the items onto someone who is not knowledgeable in the subject. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If they're that good, then why get rid of them? That's the first thought I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to give the Seller the benefit of the doubt Peter, but I think you make good points that are not refutable. I think you've convinced me.

I wouldn't have some odd ball add on cabinet in the back. Also, he is using some model of M&K woofers in there that might even be from a sub cabinet? Who knows... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
