Local craigslist has a set for $400. Says excellent cond. Couple of questions for all you SDA guru's.
Hows the price ?
Can these be hooked up to my Parasound HCA1500a without modification ?
Anything i should lookout for, being there used ?

Thanks

    Do you have photo's to confirm they are 1B's? Are they truly "excellent" cond?

    $400 is about an average price for good cond 1B's with the cable, etc.

    Can't answer if the 1500a is common ground, but 1B's can't use the AI-1 interphase so keep that in mind if it becomes an issue.
