steverb Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (not my auction) They look really nice,but is he being overly optimistic with the the price (its DIY)?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Home-audio/Speakers-and-stands/Floor-speakers/auction-127998034.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTweedy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I would estimate to cover costs he is starting at the bare minimum (and I mean bare). Surely they must have cost close to that to build? Construction looks good, obviously you would want to audition them before buying but seems a fair price. Not a fan of the stands myself.

Owen Y Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The hours that a DIYer puts in are usually high & non-recoverable. Esp, lspkrs & esp when design & R&D time is factored in. Unfortunately, for spkrs esp. unless the lspkr is a published design, with some documented track record or a following..... :confused: Such a creation is only worth what an keen auditioning punter is willing to shell out.... bearing in mind that future resale value would be again unpredictable. I'm a DIYer & I hate saying all this... Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey66 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16590 I think you'll find James has just started posting around here, certainly seems to be a well excecuted project. There would appear to be about 2k's worth of parts in there so he's obviously trying to recoup his cost's which IMO opinion is ambitious. The woofers are no longer in production although still available on ebay (you would want to consider a spare or two just incase). To the right person worth an audition, although I must say the aesthetics are best politely described as polarizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
