Used Prices for B&W 805n

What's the going rate for used B&W 805 Nautilus? I'm potentially looking for a black pair for my rear surrounds.

Check audiogon.com The range is anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500

So, not the $2150+tax i was quoated from a dealer (used demos), including the stands.

Sorry. My bad. I thought you were asking about used prices. New list the 805 (old version) listed for $1,999 US, I believe. Demos should sell for betwen 10 percent and 20 percent of list.

keep in mind the stands are 600$ US for the pair if they are the nautilus 805 stands.

My mistake for not clarifying, I still find it a big pricey for 'old' demo 805s.

And yes, i'm fully aware of the excessive price of the 805 stands. Dealer won't sell speakers by themselves either.

I would get the stands and fill them up with buckshot to stabilize the speaker to get the most out of them. Its what I did and I was happy with it. Put one bag of buckshot (25lbs) in each stand.
