Speakerlabs 7

Had the opportunity to buy a pair of these speakers but the seller is asking $500. I bought the seller's Marantz 2385 and his Fisher 500c and those receivers sounded amazing with the Speakerlabs. I connected the Fisher to my Rectilinear highboy III and it just did not have enough juice to drive them. If I conect the Rectilinears on my G8000 then wow. Surprised how the Speakerlabs with those dual woofers and horns can be powered by the Fisher 500c and sounded great. Is that the going price for a pair. I can not find any listings or completed listings at Ebay to compare. For $500 or less, I can find other vintage audiophile speakers at Craigslist but just not sure if it will sound good with the Fisher. Thanks for any advice.

I own a pair of the super 7's


SpeakerLab is local to me and I have a pair of the K-horn copies and these super 7's,

The wife like the sound from the 7's better then the horns.
Both being ran from a Sansui 9090.

As for the $500, I paid $250 but you have to take into account that speakerlab is only 15 miles from me and they come up often on the list. I got the Horns for $350.

Do they look like the one I just shot a pic of? If so the tweeter sells for $500 on the bay by itself, So I would say either way they are great sounding speakers and were the best Rock speaker they ever made.

Also my set is a factory made pair. And the Popsicle sticks are normal. The tweeters have a huge magnet and they needed to drill and extra large round hole for it to fit into the hole. Then they just covered the half moons with the sticks and goop. They suggested in the building manuals to not add screws but to use goop to hold the speakers in place. Bitch to remove them but a good seal.

I have a set of 7's i love but need paired with the right amp to sound awesome. I was thinking they were just Ok until I did some amp matching and found drastically better sounds with certain amps. Now they are nearer the top of my pile.

the hi-boys are inefficient. The 7's with the horns are fairly efficient. And horns often time like the sound tubes give them. Thats why the fisher sounds great on the 7's and not the hi-boys.
