Lsi9's in Ebony like brand new

mantis

Guys,
I bought these off Madmax some time ago.I planned on surroundback or a 2 channel system in my office.They just sit in my closet with no love shown.

I will sell them if someone wants them.If not I will hold on to them as they only have 4 hours from madmax on them and about 90 from me breaking them in for a demo.Since then they have sat in my closet.

I can post a pic or send one to who ever is intrested.

I payed 500.00 as Madmax gave me a killer deal.I just want the same plus shipping for a non local pickup or meet somewhere.

I have the orignal boxes.

Dan

PolkWannabie

I may be interested.

Where in PA are you ?

mantis

I live just north of Philadelphia.I'm 6 minutes from the burlington bristol bridge.

I could meet you somewhere as NJ isn't that big.Or you could come here and hear them before you take them.

PolkWannabie

Hmmm ... I have to be in Philadelphia on busines May 5th and 6th. I'll see what the situation is just before then but DON'T save them for me.

mantis

you got it,
if I still have them there yours.I'm only 20 minutes from center city.

Dan

mantis

They are still here guys.

No takers yeat.One maybe but we shall see.
I can post some pic's if needed.

the last few days i have been sitting here thinking about Lsi in my 2 channel rig, 7's or 9's... I have some speakers to unload before i could do it, but ive been thinking of it.. wish these were cherry and i didnt have money tied up now.. waiting on buyers to pay stinks... Oh well just thought id say i "would" be interested.. LOL

Shizelbs

What amp would you be using with them Faster?

gshisme

Mantis, that is a pretty sweet deal...I'm thinking on this one. Now, how 'bout your 15's?;)

fireshoes

I still have a pair of cherry 15's up for grabs, Greg.

faster100

I have a Rotel 980 amp 120 watts @8 and an adcom 535 and thats 100 @4 ohms....

what did you want for the 15's again,

mantis

gshisme,
the 15's could go for sale if the 25's live up to there standings.I would sell them at a killer deal as well.We shall see.

Thanks,
Dan

gshisme

Actually, I won't be ready to purchase the big dogs for another month or so. But I'll look ya up to see if ya still have 'em at that point. Working on some Rotel stuff for now. Although that is subject to change should I find the right deal on speakers. And so it goes...

Ceruleance

Guys,
this is ridiculous deal on a pair of highly regarded speakers.

If I didn't buy a pair of ebony nines literally a week ago these would have been mine allday (;) )

Just for reference, you will be hard-pressed to find a pair of these (*in this condition) on ebay for less than 600, last pair of cherry ones went for 685 + shipping.

In summary, this forum is in a grave state if a deal like this on a current model speaker has no takers after this long.

Good luck with the sale Dan, keep me in mind if you let those 15's go.

$949 shipped.

Sorry about the hijack, Dan.

mantis

It's ok but the 9's are still up for grabs.

Thanks for looking.

Great speakers both but alot of people shop the WEB and find the prices high.

The speakers we're talking about here are used and that right there is a big issue for many. Used speakers have no warranty and that's a big issue for some.

But just dealing with 'price'....$949 for the used LSi15 from fireshoes is OK but we all know he's an insider and got these for far less (maybe we know to much?). Plus if anyone looked a bit on the WEB you can get these fine speakers new for $1050 and you don't have to be an insider or anything for that price.

The $500 for mantis passed around LSi9's is OK too but again if price is the deal then why buy used? For $630 you can have brand new and you can have either cherry or black.

I went with the excellent (and new) LSiC center speaker a couple of months ago for $360. off the WEB and I've been a real happy camper ever since.

Ebay prices are 'NUTS' but I assume the buyers there have some money but little common sense. I just think the folks in here have both.

Just make the deals more 'attractive' (sweet'n them up a bit) and we'll see them move.

In fact, I have some money burning a hole in my....maybe it's time to replace my RTA12's?

madmax

Dan,
I would suggest trying Audiogon. You can probably get $700 for them there in a classified without all the BS like you get on ebay.
madmax

EDIT: And without this BS about cutting people a deal... 500 for a like new pair of LSi9's is a killer deal! In a normal thread it would be ok but to post stuff like that in a selling ad shows no respect if not a bad attitude. What do you think SC, $50 each??

faster100

Its a great deal and wish i had the money for them,

fireshoes

Hey Dan, I just saw this want ad for the LSi9's on Audiogon.

For madmax brain....I would offer 2 bits.

For the brain heart and soul of both F1nut and madmax…4 bits, but I think I would still be getting chipped on the deal!

Cut loose with your tirades, be rude and crude. Children release yourselves and all the little four letter words you can think of. It will make you whole again.

Wish you guys weren’t such dullards and bores (or is it schmucks & microbrains) as we might be able to buy and sell without your interference.

I'll just backup and re-count all my monies again, it’ll take awhile but it’s allot of fun.

Well that took some effort.

Lets not derail anymore here, wait a minute.. maybe it would buy me some valuable time to get the money for these Kidding...

mantis

Madmax and fireshoes Thanks alot.Shame faster100 but thanks for looking.

stevecramer2

as far as I'm concerned If you can do better elsewhere take yourself there.I have no time for this.

I'm selling my speakers and If your not intrested I ask you not to reply to my sale here.

Show alittle respect and earn some back.

Dan

steveinaz

Yeah, no ****. Don't under-cut other peoples deals---it's bad form. If you're not interested in what he's offering, move on. Hopefully someone will do the same for you when it comes time for you to sell....then again, maybe they won't.

Damn it, I was going to stay on the high road for this. Ah well...

Maybe you don't know as much as you think.

Ok, I sell Polk and I get a discount.... Why should that affect my re-selling price? Do you have any idea how many morons I have to put up with on a daily basis? I work about 50 hours a week doing this. I leave for work about 9am and get home around 9:30pm a lot of times. I can't remember the last time I had a weekend off. I earn my discount.

If you bought your house for $50,000 and then when you decided to sell it the market value was $75,000, are you going to sell it for $50k? Hell no, you're not!

So what if I get a better deal than others on Polk stuff. I've sold probably $250-300,000 worth of their merchandise in the last three years.

Everyone has to eat. Good for you if you can make money and listen to good tunes. Im listening to good tunes but am getting screwed in the making money part.:(

madmax

I feel the same way.

The point he was making was why pay $500 for these when you could pay $130 more and get a warranty. This is silly for a few reasons as I see it. I'll list them:

*These have been played for around 90 hours. Chances are anything that was going to go wrong would have.

*These have already been broken in. That is 90 hours of less than great sound.

*Unless you abused them there would be no need for future warranty work.

*If in fact you did have warranty work by the time you paid the shipping back to them (I don't know, maybe $30) you could have added another $20 and replaced a bad driver yourself.

*Would you really want to subject the pair to shipping both ways when you could have just ordered a driver from polk and installed it yourself?

*After being shipped a few times how could you be assured they hadn't been impacted somewhere along the way causing them not to sound right?

*What are the chances they would be physically marked up after repair and shipping?

*These particular ones were hand carried to Mantis because of fear of shipping.

That sounds like 8 pretty good reasons to save $130 to me!
