    Good catch @pitdogg2

    $400

    BTW, I pulled my ads locally and I'm going to relax for a bit. Spending too much time answering emails, etc and I need a vacation! I'll just leave this stuff here and be happy to deal with this rabble.

    Also, the Citation 7.1s are both sold.

    Listening to them with the Stasis 2, Anthem Pre1, Adcom GDA600, and B&O 4002 I don’t think I could bring myself to do any harm. I think the Krell PAM-3 will be a better match.

    I’m probably overstating the damage to the cabs anyway. No deep scratches. I’ll take some time to repair the grilles and oil the cabs. Maybe refresh the crossovers.

    Btw, the tech sheet for these calls for a 3.16 uf cap, but says “(.33 + .33 + .22).” I’m pretty sure the math is wrong there and lord knows what I’ll find in the actual speakers since it’s Infinity.

    I know your on chill vacation from these listings and I’m not one to harsh the mellow, but if you get around to consolidating the listings to what is still available, that would be fine. But that’s just like, my opinion man…. :)

    Available…yes.

    Shipping would be very expensive. The subplatter weighs about 50 pounds. I’m not inclined to even try.

    If Troy wants it I will ship it through our shop, I will even make sure it is bomb proof.. I just wouldn't be able to tell you what shipping would be till I got it packed up..

    It's a great piece, spent some time with one at RMAF back in the day, regretted not leaving with it.
    Price is better than fair especially with tonearm
