Thanks in advance for answering my rookie speaker questions....
After years of saving, I'm finally able to purchase a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures used, they're 6 years old. The seller is asking $2500. According to the seller:
"I would say they have seen light use. I used them mainly for 2 channel music and they were the main speakers in my surround system used for DVD/BluRay. For about a year they weren't used at all due to re-modeling at my house. They have always been driven with a high quality amplifier with plenty of power. I never listen at high volume because my room is small."
Now that I have the money though, I'm getting cold feet.
Should I just keep saving until I can afford them new? It's taken me a long time to get to this point and I don't want to buy speakers that die in a few years.
Also, if I DO buy these, I'm going to have to start saving for an amp...what should I look for?
Thanks so much for your time,
Jason
