The guy actually has two pairs and both look pretty bad cosmetically. He is the original owner but used one as a planter stand and another as a side table at some point. My wife thinks they look horrendous but would be fine if I refinished them. Also, the crossovers look as though they needs some attention...new caps at least. I'm just concerned about putting the work and $ into it and will not suit my taste. There is a very small market here in Hawaii for these audiophile-type items. I.e. VPI turntables, BAT amps, Quicksilver preamps and amps just won't sell, even for 30-40% below Audiogon prices. This guy has been trying to sell the La Scalas for over a year at around that price. I posted the quicksilver line stage on the craigslist for $375 and got lowball reply saying he'll take for $200. We are forced to sell on either Ebay or Audiogon when we make 'upgrades'. This being the case, if I buy them I'll likely be stuck with them forever (can't ship) unless I give them away.
Thanks again, I appreciate all your comments.
