I picked these up on Ebay for $500 w/ matching stands. They are finished with real birdseye maple veneer and look really nice. They are about 5 years old. The speakers retailed for around $900 ($1500 w/stands). I'm listening to my Duo w/Mike Gordon recording and they sound great.
I also received some new speaker cables from Mapleshade Records last week. They are very modestly priced ($85) and defy everything that I was ever told about speaker cables. Each cable consists of a twisted pair of single-strand copper wire that I estimate is 22 AWG. I noticed improvement in staging and depth as soon as I hooked them up to my old speakers without any burn-in.
I definitely have the upgrade bug now. Eventually, I think I'll move to two separate systems: (1) A two channel with separate DAC, pre, active crossover, and 2 power amps and (2) A 5.1 channel HT receiver for movies and multi-channel audio. My next purchase is a nice subwoofer to replace the cheap Yamaha I currently have. That will have to wait till I get my tax refund.
