Yesterday I went to my local isolditonebay store (you know, the type where you bring in your stuff and they sell it for you on the bay) to pick up some stuff that I won on ebay. I asked if they were getting ready to list any vintage stuff. The owner gladly showed me around his inventory and showed me a ....................pair of Mcintosh XR1052 speakers :jawdrop:
He said they were listed last month but the owner had a reserve on them that the bidders did not meet. I remember seeing the auction and I even put a bid on them, but now I'm seeing them in person and they are big and pretty - very nice condition. The owner said that this time there is no reserve on them. The auction will probably not top $500 - $600.00 (last time it topped at $500.00). It is also a "local pick up only" auction, so this should help my chances of owning these guys considerably. Needless to say I plan to buy them. My question is that I've never heard these speakers. I have been in the market for a pair of high-end full range speakers for my bedroom system (MC7200 and C-39). Can anyone convince me that it's a great set of speakers and I should do it? Comments on their sound and performance?
