Vintage Asylum Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time. |
|
So I decided to part ways with my refurbished ESS ps1020's, small Heil speakers. They sounded great, but after 10 years I was smitten by some Soundcraftsmen triaxials.
Anyway, there was no love for them on my local craigslist, so after a month I put them on consignment at one of the local audio/video shops. (They sell good brands and have speakers up to 7k per pair). I listed them at $175.00, and I would keep 75%.
Anyway, I received an email the next day from the shop. The owner stated to the effect of: "We should not sell these for less than $350.00, they sound phenomenal!"
So much for the " vintage speakers can't compete with new technology" diatribe I hear all the time.
