No afil.

Might not be a super screamin' deal but for 300 I would jump on it.

I've seen the insides of these babies and they are a work of art. Maybe not a screamin' deal but a real bargain. You couldn't build something similar for three times that much. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony sold that line at a loss, as the cabinet construction is mind boggling.

I know I spent more than 300 for mine and I love them. So I guess your right, it IS a screamin' deal.

love how they put "town" of newburgh. there could be free lascala's and I wouldn't even attempt it if they were in the city. well, maybe I would.

Why? Is it a bad part of town? I thought Westchester was where the rich folks live.

Well, there are certainly pockets of affluence in Westchester County, but Newburgh may not be considered one of them. Its at the intersection of I84 and I87, so theres a certain level of weirdness that may accompany that.
Regardless, I've never had any problems there or anywhere else thats had a questionable rep, and I've been in some crazy places.

Are the 7's biggest in the Line, or is there a 9?

They made a 9, and they are insane. Better built with better stuff inside than many of today's $100,000 plus speakers. I don't think you'll see a pair for anywhere near $300.

Neat picture, Audiomagnate! Those have Serious Business written all over them.

If they were anywhere close to me I would have bought them

 

[Bucky Badger]

I kinda thought you would say that G65.
You and me both.

Hard to believe that the SS-M7's would be offered for sale for $300.

This is Stereophile writer Barry Willis's description of the SS-M7's:

What we heard was gorgeous, absolutely beautiful: rich, warm, and deep, with a seductive midrange, a shimmering, delicate, grain-free top-end, and a soundstage to die for," ...... "WATT/Puppy performance is now available at Vandersteen prices in an American-made loudspeaker sporting a Japanese badge."

What's fair for a pair of 9's?

Just curious in case a pair EVER pops up.

Thanks

I would guess that if a pair ever did show up they would be in the 700-1200 range but what do I know. They never pop up to get a reference price.
Sure would like to someday own a pair...........
Bueller......Bueller.........
Anyone on the left coast have a pair that are just layin' around they aren't using please let me know.

Just saw this so I guess I was a bit off.
