FS: Magnepan 1.6QR - DFW Sale

I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6QR for sale in the DFW area. I'm moving to Colorado and these are not making the trip with me, hence the sale here. I get a real 2 channel music room in the new place and am moving up to the 3.7 since I'll have the space for them.

They are all black and are in great condition, they had new glue and socks put on last year so should be good to go for a long time.

These are fully stock and not modded in any way. There is one issue to bring up, the binding posts on these are a bit finicky and picky with connections. They don't support spades and some banana plugs don't work, I use bare wire and they work fine with that but if you have a certain set of banana plugs you want to use they may not work well in these speakers. The binding posts can easily be replaced, I've just never gotten around to it since I use bare wire anyway.

Most of you locals have heard these at this point so you know what you're getting, but these are still set up and obviously can be auditioned before buying.

$750

    I'm also open to trades on these, I need a good pair of bookshelf or tower speakers. I'll need boxes for them though so that I can move them with me.

    There's basically zero chance of that unfortunately, I just don't have the means to move them properly. I know these will be difficult to sell since I can't ship so figured I'd better get started now...

    Sorry, had that wrong above and can't edit it now, but the price is actually lower than original:

    I'm in North Fort Worth and may be interested. I have a full set of Polks for sale currently.

    Polk Audio Rti-A5 (pair)
    Polk Audio CSi5
    Polk Audio FXi-A6 (pair)

    All in excellent condition. One exception is one of the RTi-A5's has a slight bubbling in the veneer on the top. Does not affect the performance of the speaker and is not very noticeable. Boxes and manuals are include. Used in a smoke free and pet free home. Selling in order to upgrade. Call/text 972.971.9666 for more information.

    Any interest in a trade?

    I'm open to trades but not really looking to step back into the RTi line of Polks. I enjoyed my years with those speakers but I'm on to a different sound these days.

    How much would shipping be on them? I have a w4s st500 or a martin logan motion 5ch set.

    Sorry, but I've got no way to ship these without the boxes, these are local only

    I understand. I am in the same place. The RTi's are my backups to my backups. :) I have just decided its time to clean things out a bit. Please let me know if you change your mind.
