I have the option of purchasing a pair of these for around $50-$60 dollars in medium condition. I've been looking around and found very little information concerning them, any advice to whether or not this would be a worthy purchase?

Not sure if this should go here, but they were made in 1989 or 1990... so does it count as vintage at 16 years old?
Lovin that music year after year.

    You sure about that model number? Vintage Dali aren't worth anymore than a solid BA or Advent....and that's inline with those models.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    No Dali 7x that I know of, or can find in my resources.

    Dali, for $60, no brainer in my book. Check 'em out, I'm not familiar with 'medium' condition.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Here's a link that I found to the manual from the dali site: http://www.dali.dk/admin/previousm/7A.pdf

    Cosmetic wear only supossedly, though I'd like to see the state of the drivers as well.
