but are they $450 good? Let me preface that by saying that the woofers and passive radiators have just been re-foamed and the speakers are in very good to excellent condition. Let me also say that the price includes the gas it will take to go get these babies (the guy is asking $350) plus the owner is willing to meet me part way, almost a four hour drive for him.
And if you stumble on this thread silvernutsaq, let me know if these are more worthy of a road trip?
In 1977 I first heard these speakers and thought they were the best speakers I'd ever heard (might have been the "b" version, not sure) but ended up going with four ESS AMT 4's instead. I loved those speakers but the surrounds went bad before I realized that was no big deal and a local audio store (no longer in business) told me the only recourse was changing the woofers, which I did in one pair and they just were never the same so I unloaded all four at a yard sale!! I've often wondered since joining this site if some member here posted about their "scroe" of four ESS AMT 4's.
Anyway, I'm not sure of the differences between the AMT 1a, (b), (c), and (d) so that info would be helpful in making a decision I suppose. What do you guys think of this deal? Thanks.
