edited June 2012 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I bought these from VR3 a few weeks ago thinking they would be great in my office. Plans changed and I moved the entire system into the leaving room and although these do an admirable job filling the room, I've been lusting after Dynaudio towers for awhile and now I have the space for them. So these are for sale to fund a portion of that.

Everything you need to know about them is in VR3's for sale thread that was posted only a few weeks ago (includes pics). Find it here

I'd like to get what I paid for them. Price is $450 shipped. Thanks!

    What goes around comes around. Both speakers are nice. Dynaudio Towers and the KEF bookies. I can understand the desire for towers but you're going to have to pay more than that for them?

    GLWTS. I'd consider these if I didn't have a house full of vintage bookies as well as the LSis below!

    Thanks CNH. Will have to save for the Dynaudio towers but I have the SDA-2B's to hold me over for as long as it takes.

    You are just one crazy dude, never saw anyone buy and sell so much stuff so quickly. I honestly don't know how you have anytime to properly evaluate anything.

    GLWTS, if I didn't have speakers I already didn't use I wouldn't mind hearing these.

    Hmmmm.....You got me thinking, they would make a great addition as my rear surrounds???? Might be overkill but I'm sure kicking the idea around.

    Phil those speakers are amazing! I ran them up front with my new SVS sub,and couldn't believe my ears! I then shut the sub off,and my wife asked me why I spent so much on those big ugly ones underneath the Q300's? I bit my tongue,and spared her any harm,cause it was a legitimate Question! They're so good I feel guilty leaving them in the back of the room! GLWTS!

    They're so good I'm in no hurry to sell them!

    Brock, like I said, I want towers for the low end. I've had plenty of time to properly evaluate them, I've been listening every day. If I could find a way to get my sub in the living room I'd be keeping them!

    Those must be nice speakers. I'm running Kef C40's in my office now and it is killer. Makes working after hours not so much like work anymore.

    nice deal there.

    If you could live with the 100s, this looks like a decent deal:

    I am using a Sonos ZP120 amp with some in-ceiling speakers at the moment, does anyone know if the ZP120 would be capable of driving KEF Q300's instead, I'm after better audio quality than I'm getting right now.

    The ZP120 wouldn't have any problems running the Q300's. They're pretty efficent bookies.
