Are These Finds Good Deals?

Sticking with Canton, these Karats don't really stand out in the looks department, but upon a little digging I'm reading they had among the flattest measuring fr of speakers available at the time. 800 bones tho...

He says these are CT-90's but I'm fairly sure they are CT-100's due to being 4 way speakers.

Um... So these were listed for $300 last week. I had meant to message and tell them they had a better chance of getting that price if they refoamed them first.

Then I woke up to this:

Interesting... Once again, clean your speakers before photographing them!

12 year old speakers, maybe older

Yeah, the reviews date back to 2009. The Monitor line is their cheapest tower. OK at that price point but nothing special.

So... I found these Hales Concept 2 speakers for $500 with a center, cheap sub and a receiver. Apparently these were $5000 speakers new, 20 years ago? Never heard of them, but saw a couple of positive reviews.

Well, I didn't post them thinking they were a good deal or anything. Just poking fun at the rolled up condom driver they use.

Hah, "Thiel" was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that pic.

Mmmm if only those had been revelation 3's for that price!

The tower speakers are the only part of that deal that have any value. Maybe $250 or $300 for those alone but they won't be an easy sell if you don't keep them. The rest is fodder.

I found a pair of Thiel CS 1.5 for $500 also. I'm a little more familiar with Thiel as a company, but no experience listening to anything.

I did see those and am thinking along the same lines. They're asking a bit much for used, but decent speakers.

Here is the Marantz. Knobs are at the cash register. They lowered the price, but still there:

Tannoy C-10? Any thoughts?

Uhh... how much? lol

They're 30 year old speakers and retailed for $500 new. What I'm seeing is owners of tube amps like them because they're pretty sensitive at 92 dB. They wouldn't really interest me.
