Does this sound like a good deal?


I found a guy selling a YAQUIN" MC-13S he wanted 600$ but I got him down to 400$ it's never been used just taken out of the box for photos. I have seen nothing but excellent reviews on these but non the less would like some more opinions. I don't even own a set of speakers I wasn't even intending on buying this but I thought the 400$ mark was a steal considering the reviews I have seen. So even after I get it it will be a paper weight till I can afford some speakers after I catch up from the 400$ I'm about to spend. I thought maybe some words of encouragement could be nice haha. Does anyone have any speaker recommendations?

You are wasting the other person’s time if you don’t buy this. He has lowered it to your asking price and now your not sure if you want it because you don’t have any speakers? You knew ahead of time that you didn’t have speakers.

But I see in your other thread that you say you are picking it up tomorrow?


What's your price point? Book shelf or floor stander? 

There are so many to recommend...

  1. Martin Logan motion series 15
  2. Dali Zensor series (eBay has good prices on them)
  3. Vintage JBL L-100 or 4312 is another name for them on used market (might have to re-do the x-over due to capacitors drying out) but worth it. They have warmth to the sound that's unlike any modern offerings I heard...I am enjoying them these days...
  4. Accessories4less.com has many good speakers heavily discounted : Canton, Kef LS50 for half off, Boston Acoustics A26 (truly affordable gem of a speaker), Focal, etc.
JBL A170 for $500/pr are contenders! Read HR's review in the November Stereophile!
