You would be bringing light to a great speaker that very few people know about, part of the reason for these type of threads.

I am becoming chopped liver. Give me some time. I am only half human.

I own a pair of Linn Keileidh's, with the granite bases. A very smooth, and warm sounding speaker. McIntosh MC275's for amplification.

Myryad · 06-07-2009, 11:12 PM

How about adding Dali speakers to the list? They are awesome:

Forgot to mention that they are passive and not active. Very well defined bass, with exceptional mid-range.

Does anyone have any data about EMP ( Engineered Music Products ) speakers?

A new pair of Def Tech STS for $1350 each or a demo pair of Def Tech ST for $1200 each that have been on display for 9 months? The STs have a few minor surface blemishes and sound good now and will have the full warranty. My concern is that the STs have probably been through some pretty rough demo use in 9 months and how well they will hold up for future use. Kind of like buying a HDTV that has been on display in the torch mode for 9 months.

These speakers will be used with a Def Tech Mythos 9 center speaker and two Def Tech Gem XLs.

Can you use the blemishes on the display STs to your advantage to negotiate a little bit better price?

I might be able to get them to come down some more as they were very flexible. Do you think the STs being demo'ed for 9 months in a busy showroom room should be a concern?

That's kind of a tough question to answer. I would be curious how often (if ever) they've been driven to severe distortion or clipping because these are the things that damage speakers. Unfortunately there's no way to ever know the answer to that question. Simply playing loud, on the other hand, isn't anything to be concerned about. Ods are that if they sound good now and are functioning properly they are undamaged. Overall I suspect you would be safe buying them, especially since you're still getting the full factory warranty. To just compare the model specs, it's the nicer speaker, and even if something does happen to one (or both) of them the warranty would take care of it.

Also just for the sake of discussion, my surrounds were display models and I've never had an issue with them.

I have bought some display items also from Circuit City and they still work fine. You're probably right - it will be a safe buy.
