No, not mine.
Don't know if it's been discussed here but I just noticed a pair of 1801s for $1100 on Audiogon (a rare sighting). Being an owner and advocate of this speaker I thought I'd bring it to people's attention...

I noticed these the first day they went up. Beautiful speakers with custom, professionally made cabinets. And they include the stands :D

Looks like he bought them in this post:

They've been for sale on AC for a bit longer:

This seems a bit strange to me. I have never seen the 1801 "jump" from one guy to another. I sincerely hope they are wired correctly.

Thought I'd chime in here, I purchased these speakers (after lusting after them for years). Thanks to pecker for posting the links regarding the history of the speakers.
Dave, I know we are going to talk soon but I seriously doubt there are any issues with the wiring. I verified the the midbass polarity with a battery and there is no way these would image this well with a tweeter out of phase.
Speaking of imaging, it's f'ing retarded! I've never heard speakers that disappear like this but with a huge image. Not to say things are perfect but I need to put a decent amp behind these (currently QSC RMX 850).
I will be using these for mixing and listening pleasure 50/50; so far very good. I'm getting used to the bass and am looking forward to more detail/resolution and opening some mids 'congestion' with an amp upgrade.
Thanks!

Dave,
For the record, the sale was not a reflection of the quality of your design. I'm a college student, made an inpulse buy and couldn't use them because they won't fit in my tiny apartment.
They sounded great.
