RE: Tympani 1d ad

The selling price of 1-D's has been increasing steadily. Audiogon has the last sale as $970, the high as $1410, and the average as $1070. By way of comparison, I bought my pair, slightly used, in the early 80's for $700 and they went new for $1550.
I'd expect a refurbished pair to sell at the high end of the spectrum. Whether they're worth more than an early III, I'm not so sure -- I think that depends on application. The III's of course have the magnificent ribbon tweeter, but the 1-D's are *bigger* speakers in the sense that they'll really rock out in a way that the single panels won't and they're virtually indestructible. So it's basically bass, level, driver blending, and overall tonal balance vs. better highs and imaging.
