Synthesis LM260 Speakers?

8 years later, I guess it's not too late to resurrect these comments.

I've had the LM 210s for a few years and just pulled them out of the closet. I sent them up in a small room and I'm certainly surprised at how great they sound. They never played with such weight so I can see now that what they really need is a small room. Much better than I remembered!

Meilinnn..excellent choice on keeping them! They are still a great sounding speaker. I'd keep them too.

Thanks for all the info - I was completely clueless, and that's definitely more than I would've thought to price them at. After giving it some thought, we're deciding to keep them - they still work great. If I remember correctly, this set of speakers we had may have come with a pair of smaller speakers? I might just be making it up, but I'm pretty sure that's how they were. My dad says he probably bought the speakers in the '80s, for "at least a thousand". I think our family's completely clueless when it comes to speakers.

I'm convinced the speaker in the provided link is the LM310.
There is a "statement" version but it has separate woofer towers.
The LM260 is about the same width as my former LM210s only taller and had the sloped baffle.
I remember hearing the LM260s at a shop on Ventura Blvd in the S.F. Valley (i.e. L.A.). They were so sparkling clean and clear, compared to my Magnapan SMGs that I was shocked.
This was in the near field in a small room.
It was the LM310s that were "laid back" (brief audition in a large room).

According to the last dealer price list I have, new retail
prices were:

LM210 $1195.00/pair

LM260 $1995.00/pair

LM310 $2895.00/pair

A used pair of LM260s would be worth around $400-$600
depending on condition. They might be a little hard to sell
because they weren't very well known, but are EXCELLENT
speakers.

At the time (early 90's) the large model was selling around $4000.
Today, in good condition, I'd be happy with $1000.

Great for the feedback, guys; thanks!

We're not sure if we want to hold onto these or sell them. What would you say would be an appropriate sale price?

I owned the two-way bookshelf version and found them damn fine speakers
(used with Velodyne ULD-12 subwoof).
I auditioned the jumbo model but thought its treble too laid back for my taste.
First rate build quality!
Wish I had them back!

conrad johnson made those. I was a cj dealer and sold that
pair and IIRC, there were one or two more models.

I just checked my literature library and found a brochure on
them. They also had a LM210 and a LM310 in addition to the
LM260. The LM210 had a review in Stereophile.
