Also... does that look like a RBH SV 1212NR beside that R11?? I may have to see if he'd be interested in selling it!

LOL that that might entice even Pogre to such madness as getting vinyled (the new variant) is fairly optimistic I think

He will get Vinyltized.

I used to have a Dual TT back before I unloaded my vinyl collection (not a choice - I needed the money). I want to say it was a 506 - not a high-end model, but not junk either.

for those in the dallas area

Almost never see a pair of BP2000’s under $1000. As long as the sub amps work, thats a hot deal.

He'll get vinylized right after I get vinylized.

This would be for all speakers, but when speakers cost that much, i'm really curious whether they really sound better. At some point, if a speaker is reproducing the sound it should, I wonder how incremental it really is to spend that kind of money. However, I guess you are buying the build quality here and unique design likely more than anything

In most speakers the highest parts cost is the cabinet, not the drivers or crossovers. Round edges, fancy angles, 2-foot wide horns... all that fancy woodworking is expensive.
