Hello
I have just had my listening room redecorated and I would really like a pair of Ob1i's.
However I cannot afford to buy them new as the price just seems to be going up, so I have been looking on the second hand market.
Unfortunately with these speakers not being very old it is hard to find them, particularly in my desired finish. If I was lucky enough to find some I would still expect to spend upwards of £3000 which is still a stretch and would take me many months to have that sort of money.
On the other hand there are a few of the older Ob1's around for sale for around £1300 to £1600. Now I am aware that the new model is definitely an improvement on the old one but is it really worth double the price or would I be better off not leaving myself completely bankrupt???
Just to let you know I use a Primare I30 and CD31 with all Russ Andrews/Kimber accessories currently with a pair of RS8's.
