Does anyone have a set of these speakers in their cars.Just got a brand new set off a guy on Ebay,He's had them boxed up for 3 odd years.I won the bid for $500, mind you when I rang him to confirm postage rates, he said there was a reserve on them and he wants at least $650 for them.I know when they were out a few years back the RRP was around $1100 to $1200, so do you guys reckon they are worth the $650 or shall I just get something else.I also know from forums and a mate that they are awesome speakers, would like to know what you guys think.Oh and he's also throwing in some focal plain chant for $50.I am off up North for a couple of days,so please don't think I am rude for not responding to chat

i have a set of the focal k2 and they pump so id asume these things must be prity darn good. don't forget you will need a good quality amp to get the most out of these.
If there was a reserve on the auction, he should have put it on. Its a bit rude of him and you have every right to contact ebay for him doing that. If you want them, pay the price, but the auction is an auction, and you should be paying the price it finished at.

Paul I have got some ppi art amps in the mail, an AX404 from Melbourne and an A400 and A600 from the US, they are awesome amps,way underated and very clean power, they don't make them like that anymore. Michael, yeah he reckoned he stuffed up,still in the end I was the only one to place a bid from about 50 or so watchers and 20 or so inquiries.I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now as he's a newbie too, sounds genuine on the phone and I am going away for a few days and running out of time this morning.will contact ebay when I get back and get him to do the same,so far 100% positive feedback and want to keep it that way.I'll give him a call in a little while as I head out.

They were $1K rrp but I got mine for $900 new. They have been selling for $500 2nd hand since. I have 2 pairs. Bought 1 new - bought 2nd pair 2nd hand. Definately don't think they're worth $650 - although for $650 you'd be hard pressed finding anything 2 way as good new. They're getting pretty rare, and the newer version is super expensive
