Product: Sonus Faber Concertino Domus Bookshelf Speakers; w/ Stands

I believe $1,000 speakers and $200 stands. In 2004. So says Bard.

Well, that’s disappointing as I just paid the same amount of money many years later it doesn’t make sense does it

They were $1500/pair in January of 2006, but I don't know if that included the stands.

Most of the gear in my system currently sells for lot more than the original MSRP and/or what I paid for it.

Next time check HIFI shark before you pull the trigger on anything that you want to purchase!

I think you have paid a fair and usual price assuming they are in good shape.
