both units for $1600?
not bad
need to make sure they're in great shape.
need to see woofer cones with solid foam surrounds and need to make sure the amp needs nothing at this moment.
my 15 years old class-D amp is nearly at point of recap just to give you an idea.

Hi Venaka

Only if you are willing to get an amplifier of equal value. otherwise . No.

They are mint condition with sound anchors..


this is a fun site to look at values and do some research.

ballpark for separates.

Mint 801 s3 - average of $1900 - $2500
Bass Alignment Filter - $250
Sound Anchor Stands - $250

He is also throwing me a EAD powerAMP 10000....

"Throwing" being the key word here.

Good Luck

@czar - the speakers have polypropylene capacitors and rubber surrounds.

Thanks guys,

Yeah the cabinets and speakers are very mint...his father gave it to him and he just wrapped them up in plastic and has had them put away in his closet and his wife does not want them..he is also giving me an EAD Powermaster 1000 and some cables for the speaker.  Im really interested on this amp just because of the power it has...I have a 1000sqft home so I know the B and W matrix s3 will be overkill.




Thanks for your help.

I once sold great speakers to my friend near half price simply because I still like them when I visit his house and hear them hooked up and singing!
