Sold or Listed Prices

8 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $130 and $250. The full range runs 3.0× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.

Over the last twelve months this model averaged $159 across 4 recorded sales, 13% lower 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 8 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
