I just bought a pair of Spica TC-60s ($350), an Adcom GFP-555 preamp ($100), and two Adcom GFA-5200 power amps ($100 each) and consider all of these world-class bargains. Bought a Mission 700as subwoofer five years ago for $150 and would similarly consider that a steal except that the amp died months later. Still, it's a superb sub for moderate-volume 2-channel listening and worth the $200 I've put into it for repairs. I expect all but the sub to hold their value well.
What components are a good value in used market?
I just got old JBL L-series and I like the sound even compared to expensive modern speakers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are good sounding units in used market that are quite affordable. What other components are good ones to hunt down (under $1000) ?
