I have started looking really hard for a pair of CRS+ in excellent condition. What should I expect to pay for a pair that have no mods done to them? Thanks.

    I would pay $150 to $250 depending on condition. The factory stands would be a huge plus and may push me to $300 for a minty pair with stands. Pin/Blade is what you want.

    Thanks guys.

    I'm guessing the reason the pin/blade is better is because they are the ones that can be TL-ed? Or are there other reasons?

    Is the finish on the CRS+ models made of real wood or are they covered with vinyl like the monitor 10s I have?

    I've seen your stands and they certainly add a lot to the value of the speakers. They Are Nice!

    Looks like a fair price and includes the stands.

    I've found that most are. I happen to have a pair of keepers that are real oak.

    I am offering my pristine pair of CRS+ in the FM for a reasonable price, and those are indeed walnut vinyl. However, they seem to be a more cherry-red than those that we had...

    I look forward to getting them. I'm worried about how the guys in the big brown truck are going to treat them. I guess that's what insurance is for.
