Save up for 755As instead. They're only $1000+ each now...but on some levels well worth it.
Hey- I didn't claim they were good! :D
But I can't count how many times I have not posted stuff only to find out somebody here was looking for it.
So if I know of any Altec gear I post without value judgement. IF somebody were looking that's a decent price.
84$ each isn't that bad.
I was reacting to Bowtie Tom's quote of $39 new. That was a healthy amount of cash back then, according to the inflation calculator.
And my added-on value judgement is that there are better 8" for hifi than the 755E for $180 each, in 2018, new and used!
I'd pay $1000 for a 755A before I'd fork over $179 or even $100 for an E, although I'd prefer to keep it under $500 if at all possible. :biggrin2:
People are buying them though, it seems.
