Why do so many sellers not show the back of components...???
Sun-warrior, Because how would smoke-free be proven. And who is this Dave that you keep mentioning?

The back and bottom (speakers) including serial numbers should always be included in listing. BTW,a smoke and pet free environment always make me laugh!! 
Subwoofers
I’ve owned the SVS SB-1000 with Spendor monitors. I don’t think you would go wrong with any of their sealed subs. They also have a 45 day return policy. Give them a try,you have nothing to lose! 
Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units?
What's to dispute? I’ve owned 2 pairs plus the 3A! Vandersteen was always bargain!

Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?

Over the years I have owned many LS3/5A type speakers including Spendor,KEF,etc. IMO ,the Harbeth P3ESR is the most musical one yet. The fit and finish is outstanding ! And it ain’t only the silver wire that makes ’em sound so good ! 
Negotiating when buying demo and used speakers from a dealer
If he is not an authorized dealer and is selling an older used model for $2399 you would be better off getting a new pair for about $600 more from an authorized dealer. It seems he is asking way too much for them!http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodin... 
HESITANT with NEW member sellers
If a new member will not take Pay Pal I would walk away real fast ! 
ASSEMBLED IN CHINA
This is why I have a problem buying Chinese products. In this day and age it is barbaric! Besides that they also make crap!http://world.time.com/2013/11/01/the-ivory-trade-is-out-of-control-and-china-needs-to-do-more-to-sto... 
When speakers duplicate drivers
Years ago I owned Allison one and ADS 810 speakers. Both had duplicate woofers. The Allison also had duplicate mid and tweeters . They were both oustanding  ! 
AM and FM antenna systems
I’ve had luck with the Terk D16. Give it a shot. You can get it on Ebay for less than 15 bucks shipping included. BTW, AM is very difficult with any antenna if you are looking for quiet reception !  
Please help value these speakers
If you do an advanced search on Ebay sold listings,you will see that the Rogers can fetch as much as $5000 and the Spendor over $1000. If the Rogers are the gold badge 15 or 11 ohm version then you have gold . Of course condition is a big factor !... 
Weird Popping issue
Just swap the power amp tubes and if the pop moves to the right then you have proved that it is one of the power amp tubes that is bad! Report back with the results! 
Weird Popping issue
FWIW: When you have tube gear you should always have a spare set. I buy all my new tubes from Tube Depot . It would be overkill to replace all the smaller tubes. The smaller tubes last for years !
