I have two pairs of Monitor 7c's and was wondering what the going price for these are? I would put them in good to very good condition.
Thanks,

    I don't know what exact figures would be but IMO 100 would be a bit too much unless they were 'perfect'. So anything under 100...some people have gotten theirs for a LOT less than that!

    Around $100 or so would be fair IMO. I've seen 7's in pristine shape go for $150-200...but I see people snag them for much less very frequently.

    I got my 7A's for $20.:cool:

    Average price for a good condition pair would probably be $75-100 or so.

    There is a set of 7A's for sale on CL here for $75. There are no grilles in the pics. and the speakers look like they have seen better days. May not be an accurate example and they are 7A's not 7C's.

    Those aren't 7A's...they're actually original Model 7's(before the Monitor nomenclature). Give aways to that fact are the gray gasket around the MW, and lack of a gray gasket around the PR. Also, the velcro attachments for the grills.

    There are also two fuses on the back...the 7A's only had one. I believe the second fuse was some kind of a mid-woofer protection circuit, which was later found to be unnecessary.

    For $75, it's probably a pretty good deal, assuming that they're good condition wise.
