16 months of data shown — Listing Comps build richer history as transactions accumulate.
Sold or Listed Prices
14 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.
Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $500 and $699. The full observed range is unusually wide — the highest recorded price is 34.6× the lowest. A spread that wide usually means the recorded sales are not strictly comparable: different configurations or finishes, units sold for parts or with cosmetic damage, or listings where the model name is shared across more than one variant. Treat the middle range as the useful signal and the extremes as outliers worth investigating before you price against them.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $713 across 10 recorded sales, 30% higher than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Inspect drivers and surrounds before anything else — foam surround rot is the most common failure on older floorstanders and is not always visible in photos. Ask whether the cabinets have been re-veneered, whether the crossovers have been recapped, and confirm both cabinets came from the same production run. Shipping is the other major cost: large floorstanders often need freight rather than parcel, and original cartons materially affect both safety and resale.
This range reflects 14 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
