Just about anything that Fried designed and sold. They are a very rare find for sale on the web. I have a pair of custom Fried C6 TL speakers, and I know why they will never be put up for sale. The vast majority of Fried owners will not part with their speakers!
What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)?
I'm looking for Vandersteen Quatro CT, Wilson Sabrina or DeVore Fidelity Orangutan 0/93 or 0/96. I rarely find it or in some cases, before I make an offer, it is gone. What other speakers are a rare find?

Preowned Wilson speakers are VERY common to see being sold very much including the most expensive production models (XLFs as you read this on AG & virtually everything else) - however in all the decades the WAMM has been made, I've never seen a single one come up for sale. All 7 versions (not including the Chronosonic which is arguably too new). Something peculiar there. |
Someone still hankers for a pair of ML Monolith IIIs? I sold mine 20 years ago and good riddance, slow bass, directional, limited dynamics. Replaced with Legacy Focus. Music preference is opera, jazz, classical and pre-1980's pop while wife also wants to enjoy heavy metal and raucous rock. Focus speakers suit everything while Monoliths had limited appeal even for my tastes. Generally rarely seen are Acoustats (I had 2&2s), especially Xs which were deemed the big coffin speaker by my late wife. |
U-Vola seem to be pretty rare https://www.ebay.com/itm/323737117992 |
Windmilldad: I own ML 13a. (I can speak from experience having been an audiophile for 5 decades.) They were very good speakers when matched with reputable amps and preamps. A year ago I took it to the next level and went with Don Sachs tube preamp and Krell’s 575 XD mono. Now they’re a great speaker, I can’t imagine better SQ. Two important items when working with the 13a, the amp needs plenty of power and the preamp should be tubes. Enjoy. |
The be-20 dmd’s Are excellent speakers and I have a pair of them along with a pair of DSP8000’s and I have to pick 1 to keep, you would think that the $65k speakers would trounce the $20k ushers and I wish it was that easy but those big ushers have a lot going for them and when we factor dollars per smiles the usher speakers are a bargain. |
I sold my lovely pair of polk lsi9's several years ago. Regretted the decision. I found another used paid but took a long time.. They are hard to find, but well worth the hunt. You might try a pair. Perhaps in the $400 to $700 price range. You can always resell them. They have way less of a port problem than the Kef Ls50's (which did not work in my room - puffy low-end did them in). drumbe |
