    TroyD: I remember when you got your DQ-10s. I didn't realize what you paid. Damn dude! Awesome.

    Mantis: Nice site and store. The car out front was very appropriate. I tried the Used Gear section and could only get transparent cables. I'll try again later. Old computer.

    Used gear in general: Heck yeah! Some stuff just isn't made like it used to be. When it is it costs too much. I bought a pair of used Altecs off E-bay just because I like the price. It worked out well.

    My 2ch rig: @ $350
    Monitor Bronze Series 2 spkrs @ $200 used
    Dynaco ST-120A amp @ $99
    Dynaco Pat-4 pre @ $51
    Cables, wire, Playstation (CD) used by me and sitting around collecting dust. It sounds great!
    Make it Funky! :)

    All I see used are cables.....

    Do they post any open box gear on the site? If they don't , maybe they should...

    Cheers,

    Thanks Mark....yeah, 280 for the DQ's is one of the all time great scores. Especially since, operationally, they are flawless. Within the last 5 yrs they were completely redone (all drivers, wiring and crossovers)

    I have been thinking, based on a conversation with Russ, that in terms of new gear, I would probably be looking at the better part of 5K to rival my gear in terms of sound quality. (edit) Actually, I was just reading some of the paperwork on the DQ's and they went for 700 a pair, new, in 1974. Translate that to 2002 dollars and 5K may be an overly conservative estimate......

    Flame and scoff if you want, the B&W demo that Russ and I did, with the same amp, I wouldn't be ashamed of the DQ-10 performance.

    What cost $700 in 1974 would cost $2683.55 in 2001.
