For me, it was buying a pair of used Magnepan MG-12 speakers for $550.00 from a dealer in Oregon. I had heard the 1.6 before, but not the smaller 12's. These speakers have TOTALLY changed the way I listen to music - I may eventually upgrade to larger Maggies, but I think I will always keep the 12's around.
Denon 103D.......had one I bought in Japan in 1984, sold it, and bought two new ones 18 years later. Best cartridge under $1000, and better than some more expensive than that.
$650 paid for a near mint pair a few years ago, right after selling a $30,000 retail speaker (wont mention brand) and no they were not as good, but I was more suprised at how little I was actually giving up!
I never new of polk having a speaker costing thirty thousand dollars. I own a couple different set of polk speakers in the early to late seventies. all very good. Must have missed this pair. Please fill me in.
