Did you try to buy the damaged Beethovens?

My experience exactly....only they would have been my mains.
I never did get a response to my emails.

That is too bad. I have the Beethovens as mains and Dynaudio 1.3mk2s as rears. I would love to have Beethovens all around. I didn't think they would end up with someone that could use them.

Yes I did. I was among the first to respond (judging from number of views) and was also local to him (only 20 miles away). Naturally I wanted to see them in person BUT he never responded to EITHER of my emails! I wonder if there is anything to that - at the least he could have said sold though I doubt that someone would make a buying decision without engaging in at least a 1 email exchange of info. It seems as if seller DID NOT want a local buyer - am wondering? I would like to see a response from the BUYER of these speakers.

The speakers ended up on ebay for a 1700.00. First I saw them on audiogon for 1000.00 and then 1200.00. The next time I looked all the ads were deleted.
