Someone is selling a pair of Infinity Reference Standard IIB speakers... what do you think???





oh yeah... he's asking $80...

[ben62670]

Yes!

[ND13]

Hell, why not for $80. As a few around here will tell ya....get your ears on as many pair of speakers as u can, at least for the education.

I'd think if they are in good working order, the ribbons are probably worth that much alone.

[Face]

That's a steal.

[steveinaz]

You had to ask that question??

[ben62670]

10 emit ribbons are worth around $500 alone. Don't rip them apart Infinity lovers will pay $800-1200 for them. Run don't walk.

Looks like solid oak cabinets too!!!

[F1nut]

I can guarantee they are not solid oak.

Hell, where are you at???? If you don't want 'em for $80, I'm sure anyone else here will! If those were local to me, they would already be in my truck without asking you guys! :D

Where the hell is whatever the hell that town is called????

[jon s]

I am waiting for a callback from the seller... but my guess is he probably mislisted it... i think it shud have been $800, not $80... but we shall see...

but like i said, these great deals keep popping up on me!!!!

:D

That's what I was thinking it was after I googled the name and that's ALL that came up. Too far of a trip for me! Good luck....I hope that's the correct price! Always act as fast as you can and if there is a phone number, call it first and tell them you are on the way.

[jon s]

well, the seller just contacted me... the good news is that the price is $80... the bad news is... it has been sold...

when asked why so low a price, she said it was 20 years old and too big.

I mentioned they were worth a lot more than $80.

She said like how much...

I said at least $500 or more.

She said "for a 20 year old speaker!!!! I really did not need to know that now!!!"

:(

[jon s]

I think she has some old Apple stereo gear too.... something called Macintosh....

:D

[treitz3]

Lucky dog. Tell her that stuff ain't worth Jack.;) :D

[PolkClyde]

Wasn't those speakers going for several thousands of dollars when New? that was a blessing to sell for $80

[disneyjoe7]

For $80 would have jumped on them without question, sorry you missed them.

[jon s]

actually, I kinda feel bad now telling her it was worth a lot more. She really did not know its real value and whoever bought from her took advantage of the situation. Under the circumstances, i probably would have paid her a few hundred instead of $80.

Jon, sorry to see you missed out on a true treat. I have a pair of Infinity RS-II and love them. I would pay ten times her asking price for a fully operating pair, even more if I didn't already have the RS-II. The two bad things about them is that the woofer foam normally has to be replaced. I just had mine done by Bill Watkins (the inventor of the woofer). The second thing is they require an amplifier that can put out a lot power at a very low inperdence. Other than that, they are wonderful.

I'll stop since I know this is a Polk forum. I'm a new member, just picked up a pair of Model 7c. Very nice.
