Re: Pretty but pricy Malibus....
What's really surprising is this price is a lot more than I have ever seen for a pair of 19's.

The high price might be a result of the location. Per capita income in NYC is over $100,000 year! Bureau of Economic Analysis

How often do you see Malibu's? There are always Model 19's forsale.

For the era they were made, yes. Malibu's are older, aren't they? Rarity can trump where something falls in a model lineup.

Well of course rarity comes into play ! But sound quality still rules IMO ! Just like those old 604's that are listed for big $$. But when you see a speaker sell for much more than double of what it usually does it is a Surprise is it Not ?

And reality comes into play also AB. If you or I were selling them we would just get heckled and lowballed. :biggrin2:

Not really... Peter's auctions are always well documented with lots of large High Res. pics. He uses a custom auction page and just really shows his gear nicely. Take a look at his auctions and feedback ! I've dealt with him twice..
IMHO folks who go the extra mile packaging,showcasing,their stuff tend to get the higher prices for their stuff. YMMV
