Whats fair $$$ for cdm1 demos?

[Aven]

I'm looking at a set of cdm1 demos..... They sound fantastic! Asking price is $825 w/stands (not B&W).... What do you think?

While we are at it... What do you think are fair "used" prices for B&W's...cdm7's,cdm9's,703's, 704's, 705's,6 series, etc... For us entry level guys...

Help a newbie out with a little insight!

Thanks,

Aven

Anybody out there?

Seriously guys! Lots of you are lurking... Post a little! What do you think? What have you seen? PLEASE!!!!

Demos should easily be had for 35% off retail.

CDM 1NT should go for about $600.
CDM 1SE about the same
For $850, you should be getting Matrix 805

Where to go?

Thanks for the tips!!! If I get the speakers I will still need better amps, players, etc... I'd like to slowly build a nice system. The room is fairly small. For the budget and $$$ factors, I'm probably going with cdm-1nt's and a small sub (asw 300) for my "starter speakers". I've heard the mix and really like it.

Unfortunately, to start my set I'll have to stick to my old HT amp... a sony STR-DE695. Pretty nasty stuff, but its what I got.

My future goal is to eventually get a nice home theater/music room going using the cdm-1nt's for rears. 704's or better for fronts and a nice center channel by the tv. For now though the 3pc will be it.

With those goals in mind.... I think my next step would be a good amp or intergrated amp.... I'm just not sure. To seperate or not to seperate is the question for this kid on a budget...

So... Where would you go from here?

Thanks in advance!
