Toetapfactor,
What are you talking about! Just because there are newer models doesn't mean the old models are junk. Pretty soon there will be Salon 3 then are salon 2 junk? Your mindset is ass backwards. I think buying the old model is a very smart thing to do. It's a great way to save money and it will sounds great. Then why would he buy current speakers that are going to be updated and improved one day. Makes no sense.
You are wrong with buying the best possible speakers and short changing yourself on electronics. I've heard $50,000 electronics on $1000 Sony speakers sound amazing. It was done as a demo to prove this. Then they put $2000 electronics on $35,000 speakers and it sound worse then the Sony's. Much worse.
BTW Give me the old Salon's over the new any day. Give me the old Cremona's over the new ones.
Brandonosman23 you are doing the right thing as long as you plan it out like you are. You will have a great system buying off audiogon and buying last generation model's.
