This might sound extreme, but I'll never again buy a new speaker if I can find the same thing used (from a seller with good feedback). Let someone else take the hit on MSRP!:cool: I bought my Monitor Audio Gold Ref 60's in fantastic condition in Rose Mahogany for about 1/3 the new MSRP and...

The Rockets have some fantastic woodwork going for them. Hard to imagine a better cabinet for anywhere near the money. I've never heard the 850's but I did own a pair of Ref1s, fwiw. The F'n'F was terrific.

They're still highly regarded and sought after by a certain segment of fans, mostly old-school/vintage lovers. You might consider listing them on Agon, Craigslist or eBay- you might get a good price for them. Nowadays the more knowledgeable audiophiles don't think much of Bose, but I won't...

I'm pretty much a Lost junkie!:D

I'm glad things have been worked out to your mutual satisfaction. We'd hate to lose either of you. I'm anxious to see some pics once you take delivery!:cool:

That's not very funny but it is pretty offensive.

I don't eat pizza often but when I do it's always Pappa Murphy's! The prices are great and their pizza is some of the best in town. At first I was reluctant to try it but my GF kept badgering me.:p IME pizza comes out a lot better in a restaurant because they have the correct type of oven...

And the Brits wonder why the Colonies tossed 'em out?;)

I can't speak for the OP but I owned a pair of Ref 1's and didn't care for them at all. The cabs were gorgeous and beautifully finished but they were tipped up and shrill to my ears. I felt they had some virtues- a very clean and clear midrange, and very good low level detail. Granted...

Awright all youse wisearses, back off!:p I have a good reason for no pics yet- once I got them installed I had to cook dinner for a lady friend.;) Once I got home I had to study for a Linux test tomorrow (and I should be doing it now instead of posting this:o). Rest assured I'll get a few...

Yikes! :D I can't wait to see what you think of the Salks. Truth be told they're probably my dream speakers, but I'll have to stick with my Gold Ref 60's til I finish school, I'm afraid. Maybe down the road I can swing MA Platinums or Salks.

Yeah, I realized I'd catch h*ll for not having pics!:D My current listening space is less than ideal; hopefully I'll be moving within a few months (not that there's any guarantee that the next place will be better). But I'll try to get a few pics posted within a couple days.

wOOt! My speakers showed up today!:D I found a good deal on Audiogon on a pair of Monitor Audio Gold Ref 60's and decided to upgrade from my GR20's. Since I have 2 subs I didn't think the difference would be that great but my 20's are Cherry, probably my least favorite MA finish. The seller...

Congrats! I'm a Monitor Audio Fanboy from way back, BTW!:D In my time I've owned: Bronze 2's, Bronze 3's, Bronze B2's, Silver 7i's, Silver 8i's, a Bronze Center, a Silver Center, Silver FX/i surrounds, Gold Ref 10's, Gold Ref 20's and a Gold Ref Center!:) I just recently purchased some...

Well, it's not as easy as it looks but with a little practice it's not to hard to learn. Getting the rice right is important part, but not too tough if you use a rice cooker and start with short grained sushi rice. You just have to be patient with the rice- if it sucks no amount of work can...

I feel for you & midcow2. I've seen my share of ups and downs but this is the first time I've really been worried since the late 80's. So far I'm doing okay having chosen last year to return to school. I just changed jobs, voluntarily- went back to the company where I worked as a chef to work...

I've owned four Denon receivers over the years and really liked all of them. For my money, if I ever end up using a receiver again it'll be a Denon. That said, all the top companies are building good equipment and most of them have very similar features. Back when I used a receiver I really...

Good for Monster Mini Golf!:D

It's a damn tough market for a seller right now. Must be the economy. I listed a Butler TDB-3150 for $1100 and couldn't sell it, totally like new with 3+ years of transferable warranty.:confused: And I have great feedback from eBay & A-Gon. On the other hand there are some good used...

I want my "molecular electronic amplifiers- the next step after transistors"...and why don't my walls change colors to the beat?
