Sorry about your loss. At the risk of stating the obvious, I suggest taking some good pictures of the speakers and post a for sale ad in Audiogon. It only cost $10 and it gets a wide exposure to folks looking for all sorts of audio gear. As a side note, if it were me, I'd leave out the circumstances causing the sale. All the best.
JBL Paragons
Hello... new user on Audiogon here.
My father passed away recently, and in his estate left JBL Paragon speakers which will have to be sold to cover funeral and other final expenses. I'm looking for ideas/suggestions as to the best place to sell them, and pricing. There's eBay of course, but their final value fees and paypal fees take a pretty big bite. There are some currently listed on there at $30,000 and $27,000, and some apparently just sold for $29,800.
Now, the question you're all asking is-- how do they sound?? Do they live up to the hype, the legend and all that. And the answer is... I don't know! I've purposely avoided turning them on because they absolutely have to be sold and I don't want to risk getting attached. I might listen in while a potential buyer auditions them, just so I can say I've had that experience.
Anyway, thanks for any help/suggestions. I hope I'm not violating any posting rules-- I just registered and I didn't have time to browse through any other threads. Is there a way to post pictures on these forums?
Many thanks,
Steve
