Geez 2 years ago I couldn't give away my 2 pairs of Z900s. I think they went for 1/3 his price. Had them on CL 4 times.

These have been on eBay once already,and Audiogon with no sales yet, over a 3-4 week period if I'm recalling.

Initially, the seller was unsure of what he had- he's selling them for a headmistress of a school. Supposedly Z-200 prototypes.

Probably neat sounding, but seems maybe twice the going price?

I believe

I think they might be on ebay now, actually. maybe the guy is trying to get some local bidding going. i know nothing about them, but they look like they might be cool.

A neat piece of history for sure.

Check out this thread on 'em...

Here is what the Z900 looked like. They were all in pretty cherry condition. Real furniture. Definitely a large Bozak like system. Pretty nice highs kind of mushy lows. Had magic at times.

Dave- those are pretty nice looking in a furniture way indeedy.

Yes now I sort of regret letting em go. Both set of buyers were happy though so that is good. Here is another shot with a KLH 5 for size reference. They take up a lot of real estate. 4 of them are hard to store.

I imagine these Janszen Z-200s would probably sell realistically for $200-$300, eh? Maybe $400, due to historical and collector status.

 

[grateful]

Yes that is what I would think but you never know.

I bought my Z-600s for $20 at the SA in perfect condition...

 

[grateful]

Can't go wrong for $20. Do you like them?

Wow, I thought I had scored when I bought my Z-600s a few weeks ago for $100, but yours definitely takes the cake.

I like them a lot. I had them hooked up to an Adcom amp and thought they were okay, but then I hooked them up to my Stromberg-Carlson tube gear and they really came alive! I was listening to Donna Jean and the Tricksters on them earlier this evening and the imaging was great. The percussion on the track "Weight of the World" sounded very accurate.

I forgot to mention that a friend is building new power supplies for them. Should sound as new when they are finished!

Is it worth getting? Not sure I can DL this one though.
