In 1998, I bought a beautiful back ash set of Spendor SP100s for $1800 from a wonderful member here. They were less than one year old and in perfect condition. He lived a few hours away, and I told him that I wouldn't be able to get there for a week, but I would express him the money, but he said no problem, he would trust me, and he did. It was a wonderful transaction all around, and a hell of a bargain!
Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price?
When I look at the Elac Adante center channel I bought open box (I later added the stand) for $1400 total, a couple of years back, I think how is this even possible at anywhere near the price? The 65 pound speaker (designed by the amazing Andrew Jones) has an aluminum front baffle with waveguide, custom designed (as opposed to off the shelf) concentric drivers, a very sophisticated internal woofer band pass structure and a trapezoidal cabinet.

What are your audio purchases that seem impossible, or where the manufacturer clearly lost money?
