These are gone but dang, $950 is crazy!  They were near DFW.

I agree.  The auction started at $1,400 & I emailed a buddy that lives about 15 minutes away from there to try and get him to bite.  I figured for local pickup only the seller would drop $200-$300 of the original price, but $450 off is ridiculous.  I actually thought about going & buying them myself for about 10 seconds, but my wife would have killed me.   ;D

Yeah the guy lived maybe at most 5 minutes from me.  Unfortunately I am a few months off on putting money in to my playback.  Hopefully next time.   :(

Oh, I don't have to worry about that.  She would have killed me because it would have been my second set of VSA VR-4 Gen I speakers.  I've already got a pair that she's banished to the loft.  No skin off my nose.   ;D
