    For 1.2 TL's even that is high, but local makes all the difference especially if your in Alaska. You could like offer $1200 and see what happens. But it's all up to if you see them pop up a lot where you are.

    I disagree $1800 is fair if they are in show room quality. Can you find a better deal? Yes and no but how long will you wait for them and what quality will they be?

    If they are a set you would really like to get your hands on then go get them, Knowing what I know about them today I would pay that to have them especially if they are in that show room quality you say they are in..

    ^^^^I agree with what Larry is saying here. You may find them cheaper for sure but it depends on where you are. I know the market has them lower but you always have to think about the fact that most speakers, if any, for $1800 will not sound like these.

    Those are the upgraded RDO 198's which makes it worth $1800 IMO.

    They could be RD0194-1's as they look exactly the same as the RD0198-1's.

    robert p, the crossover board will be marked BE-2000-A, B or C. That will tell which model you have.

    Sweet! Yea that looks like upgraded tweeters ($450 incl tax) did he mention that to you?
    That would be 194's on the non TL's. Offer him $1500 and if he makes a face pull out the other $300 :lol:

    it's a small world isn't it?
