Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: (not keen on used)

I have had but one bad experience buying used speakers so far, and I've bought several pairs over the last decade or so. In that single disappointing instance, the ebay seller was quick to arrange for return shipping and the refund of all of my money.

Finding a seller with a fairly long history of positive feedback is important as they are most careful to preserve their good reputation. Avoiding most pawn shop gear and inspecting Craigslist stuff before buying are usually smart things to do.

Given your budgetary considerations, I think that you'd be doing yourself more harm than good by avoiding all used gear. Gently used, well-cared for gear normally sells for 1/2 to 2/3 of original cost but in some cases nice stuff can be found for less.

Just my two cents! Good luck in your quest to find the right pair of speakers.
