    Maybe... The passive 16-46 CS is only $479 new. I'd bet these are what he has and he's using the Sampson to power them. What's the Outlaw combo worth?

    I am not sure it will move. A lot of niche names that people won't know enough of to bid with confidence on the package. Ever heard of Swan speakers? Bet he'll get so pre-empts on pieces that he'll end up parting it out on ebay. Then again, there is no reserve...

    Ought to be fun to watch. Did you find this listing in a Svs search or an Outlaw?

    The speakers look like they used to be made by the same company that makes the Rocket line of speakers, AV123. Looks like due to legal issues including the name "Diva", and the way they mounted their tweeter they had to discontinue the line. Then they started the Rocket line of speakers. From what I have found it seems that the Diva line of speakers had a following similar to the Rocket line.

    Here is the article I found on the subject if you care to read about the Diva speakers. Info from www.hometheaterspot.com

    To anyone reading this, I have emailed him regarding the outlaw gear and he has shown some interest in parting these seperately to me if the auction gets no bids, so if you guys could respect the first dibs rule on just these pieces I would appreciate it.

    Dibs? What are those???? ;) Well, I don't know about dibs, whatever they are, but I'm pretty sure we can be bought...

    At least I should get a commission for giving you the idea... :D

    What a frickin' deal. I've heard Swans, but can't afford 'em. I wish my "closing" was yesterday. If anybody can bank-roll this deal and part it out they could make some cash.

    suspense indeed. I am hopefully going to pick up the subs, projector and pre/pro/amp if it ends with no bids. I don't particularly want/want to pay for shipping, for the speakers, PC, or rack

    I hear you, Cer. List looks very impressive until you start ferreting out all the PC bits. Then it only looks plain impressive... :)

    Good luck to you, but I'd bet it's yours in about three days.

    To bad for you guys that where trying to get him to part it out. Looks like he has two bids on it now, up to $3100 now. If I had the cash I probably would bid on it, then just sell the speakers and pc parts, the rest looks pretty nice, especially the svs stuff :)

    Daniel,

    I was able to sell the complete system for a fair
    price on the side. Thanks for your interest.

    Mark

    He said he had multiple offers on almost every piece so he was going to split it up, and he asked for my best offer on what I wanted

    Oh well. I lowballed him an offer for the outlaw gear, so i'm not too surprised he sold to someone else.
    ( I can't afford the outlaw stuff for what it is actually worth)

    dude, you live in minnesota, you should have bought the whole damn thing. Selling everything apart would yield minimum $5000

    the SVS and outlaw stuff would have brought in more than $3000 by themselves.

    yeah I know, but like the saying goes, you have to have money to make money. I actually only live about an hour from him, but just didn't have the money for the entire thing.

    No he didn;t pull the plug on the auction, when it disapears like that it means e-bay booted it for something, wording, what he was selling or personal status, he didn't end it, or it would say " the seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing, the item is broken or lost or a few other pre-made excuses e-bay has created for ended auction pages

    The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.

    I assure you, he pulled it on his own to sell to someone off of ebay
