What used speakers raraely come up for sale

Ps I do agree with you that this was an inapproriate thread to chime in on and his point that perhaps a new set of speakers at $7k might sound  better than an older used $15k one.

In that light he might not have induced such ire. 

Everyone loves a bargain  however this is a flawed thread. Because a speaker is rarely seen on the used market may mean that the speakers for whatever reason didnt sell.

So because brand x is rarely seen on the secondary market may mean very few were sold vs the conclusion everyone loved the product so much the owner never sold them.

I've long kept an eye out for Avalon Ascent Mk IIs. I think I've only seen these on A'gon a couple of times over the past 10+ years. At this point, probably need to consider the cost of recapping on top of purchase price.

Sorry, my mistake

Thanks for all the replies, its interesting researching all the speakers listed.  I was impressed with Sonner Audio monitors at the NY audio show a few years back, never seen any used for sale mind.  

Ruark Solstice or Excalibers. Immensily musical, detailed and dynamic.
