If you're purely weighing the values of $$ vs. Yammies, after fees and hours spent on packing plus that feeling of "anything might happen" once you ship 'em out, I'd take the money. Anyways, I think that's a good offer either way for a pair of Altec's. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Altec fan.You could get more for the speakers but it might be a pain in the rear to move them depending on your location.
This is a local dealing. No shipping involved.
Is your system geared towards low efficiency or high efficiency speakers. If you use lowered watt tube amps you might not have enough power for the Yamaha speakers, which are not very sensitive. So it depends a lot on what you're after. I think $900 is a pretty good deal for Yamahas NS-1000 if they're in great shape. Again, this depends on what you're after in terms of sound quality.
Not only wonderful sounding, that series is also quite attractive.

That would depend on what my goals were if I needed the money I would take the cash if I wanted a nice set of speakers to listen too I would take the yamaha ns 1000M's they have the best imaging of any speaker I have ever heard the treble and mid range is exceptional the bass so so but that can be fixed with a musical subwoofer. You could sell them for more then 900.00 if they are in nice shape and are working properly or part them out but this may take a while.altec flamenco speakers .I have an offer of a near mint pair of yamaha ns 1000M speakers or 900.00 cash. What would you do?
Come to think of it, those stands did come with a pair of RSL Nevada curb alerts.RSL style speaker stands!
