Free pair of LSi9s (if you pick them up)

[minimus]

If someone wants a free pair of LSi9s and is willing to pick them up, send me a PM. I am located on the Upper West Side in Manhattan.

I have upgraded my stereo system and the LSi9s have just been gathering dust and taking up space in my apartment for the last few months. The speakers are maple, about 3 years old, and in very good condition. You can also have an Orb Audio subwoofer that I used with the LSi9s that can be picked up for free as well. I do not have the original boxes for the speakers or the sub.

I am willing to give these away because I don't want to deal with the hassle of finding adequate boxes/packaging (or paying $90 to get new boxes from Polk), putting them up for sale on Audiogon in a very depressed market for used stereo gear, and then somehow lugging the speakers to UPS or Fed Ex for shipping. It's just not worth the effort to me.

The speakers can either be picked up at my apartment or from my apartment building's lobby.

Welcome to the Forum. What did you upgrade to, if I may ask?
That is pretty considerate of you to offer those beautiful speakers to someone from this Forum. I have an extra pair of LSi9's myself, but doubt I would give them away. They would make nice stereo speakers in another room.

I would think that someone in your apartment building would probably buy them so it would be easy to transport them to another apartment with a minimum of hassle.

I will pay you for the hassle... and then some:D pm me...

[acsubie]

i sent you a PM a few minutes ago but now i realize you might not be able to PM because of low post count, anyway you can reach me at acsubie@gmail.com if thats easier

[maximillian]

Too far away myself but almost tempted to drive the 3.5 hours to pick them up. Have you tried Craigslist? You could sell them cheap there; I am sure someone would pay $300-$400 even in this market.

Thanks for your generosity though.

[halenhoang]

Wow, a flight to where you are for around 300 bucks from dallas would be still an awesome deal. Have you decided yet?

[sandworms]

i will take them asap name the time place and they will go to a very nurturing home ,hell i'll even compensate you

[comfortablycurt]

Woah. That's a pretty long drive for me. Killer Karma on your part though minimus. This is one of the nicest gestures I've ever seen.

This is going to make someones year!:D

So what are the new upgrades?

[sandworms]

thats an unbelievably generous offer!!, seriously, this is a pair of speakers i've been fanasizing about but can't get the waf for.
any takers yet. i can be there in a heartbeat! see your e-mail minimus

:eek: How hard can it be to get WAF for a pair of LSi9's? If she's that picky....;)

Nice offer Minimus, but seriously you can't give them to a family member or a neighbor? I'm sure the mailman would take them from you. :confused:

[devani]

I can take them tonight. Email me at kitory AT hotmail DOT com. I really would love to use them.

[DaveMuell]

Call me Mr. Skeptical. But, we'll see...

the waf is hard to get when you see how much i've already spent and for me to go and buy another pair at 5-600 $ is grounds for divorce

[Lowell_M]

Um.... guys.... Read the post. He has LSI9's in MAPLE. Anything seem odd there? Like maybe the fact that LSi9's have never been available in maple?

[genjivn]

The cherry finish of the old LSi 9 has lighter color than the current one. I remembered some forum members complained how the color faded after a certain time. Maybe that makes it look more maple than cherry

They are only 3 years old.

Maybe I'm too cautious but there is something fishy about this post.

edit... I guess I shouldn't tear into this guy. His other 5 posts seem legit, but at one point he had 2 year old LSi9's in cherry for sale. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but it still seems like something is up.

[lightman1]

Anybody see a white van and very nervous driver coming up in their future?

[woodsman10b]

April Fools was wednsday not yesterday mr. minimus. lol

[minimus]

Actually, the LSi9s are cherry, not maple. Sorry for the confusion. A few months ago I listed them on Craigslist for $300. Two people responded and set up appointments to buy them. They were no shows and I ended up wasting a Sunday waiting around for them...so I am just letting them go for free to someone who will appreciate them.

I have upgraded to Sehring 703s, which are $9,000 speakers, which I bought used. My system now consists of a Wadia iTransport --> Northstar M192 DAC --> Manley Shrimp preamp --> B&K 4020 Power Amp --> Sehring 703s. The Sehrings are truly amazing speakers, but not very well known in the US.

[ESavinon]

I'll pick them up if they're still available.

[genjivn]

A cheapest pair of LSi9 on Craigslist was $350 in Houston and that was gone in a blink :mad:

No offense minimus but it hurts to see someone lets this wonderful speakers go for free

[minimus]

Right now, Devani is first in the queue for these. If I don't hear back from him, I will respond to others who have sent me PMs, but I will do it in a post on this thread, since right now I don't have enough posts to reply to PMs. I want these gone by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. If they are not taken by then, I will just donate them to a local thrift shop so I can at least take a tax deduction on them (and not have to read any more insinuations that I am a scam artist, luring the innocent with the offer of a free pair of entry level speakers.)

[engtaz]

[Sherardp]

I had to google the Sehring 703s, never heard of them. Nice speaker though and nice Karma for sure.

[minimus]

The LSi9s and Orb sub were picked up by Devani on Sunday night. Farewell, Polk Audio forum...

[CaligulaPolk]

i didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth either, but have to agree this is quite strange when i know i would have been 3rd in line but still give pass to the guy who chimes in a day after me? i pm'd this guy regarding these speaks and how noosh and you are 1 and 2 in line, yet devani gets em? i even offered cash, ? very weird. oh well congrats devani!
