    That's a good price if they are in good shape.

    That's so weird, there was another pair of 1.2's for sale in Broken Arrow (suburb of Tulsa) about 2 weeks ago on CL. I seriously thought about grabbing them. The guy said it had one bad mid-bass. About the same price. Go get 'em!

    Do you listen to the AU-20000? Amazing integrated amp. I'm not sure you can beat it with anything else from that era....

    I was desperate for cash at the time and I sold it within weeks of getting it for 4 months worth of mortgage payments. Those three pieces of gear saved me from losing everything.

    And the ad now reads;


    This posting has been deleted by its author.
    (The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)

    So they were either sold. Or he got so many responses he realized they were advertised too cheap and pulled the ad.

    Did anyone on here pick these up? It looks like the listing just went down today. If they were still there this weekend, I was thinking about making a road trip... :cheesygrin:

    I decided to roll with what I got.

    Seems the seller has been deleting and re-posting to keep the ad on top.

    Hi my name is Angel and I'm the one who own these speakers. The reason I'm selling is room is to small to enjoy. But everytime I put them up I changed my mind because it would be hard to find another pair. But what's the point in keeping them if they aren't set up right ...I'm way confused

    So are Khorn clones better than 1.2's?
    Anyone heard both and would like to comment?

    I dont know those are not the real deal i just wanna go back to single ended tube amps. I have those SDA about 18 inches from side walls and they arent going to work right unless they are 3 feet away from sidewalls. I cannot afford new house so they should go to someone who will enjoy them ya know

    Even if you do get someone to bring them from Denver to Tulsa, I would not spend that much on speakers without listening to them first.
