These are SOLD

Up for sale are my beloved B&W 803 speakers (Cherrywood finish) that are in absolute perfect condition (not a scratch on them; 10/10). No pet and no smoking household. These have been gently driven by my Vinnie Rossi LIO (25W/channel). They are in an untreated dual-purpose room (75" TV in the middle of them) and, yet, the measured in-room frequency response is amazingly flat; these speakers are very room friendly.
B&W Description Floor-standing design with a two in one cabinet construction, which reduces sound diffraction between the bass and midrange. The 803 cabinet is made up of layers of ply. The graceful curves of the cabinet are skillfully moulded layer by layer which helps to eliminate the unwanted resonances caused by flexing of flat and square cabinet walls.The FST midrange driver is housed in its own isolated section of the beautifully curved, Matrix braced main cabinet, which is kept as narrow as possible in order to optimize the dispersion of sound. In order to have a similar bass output capability to the wider 802D, the 803D uses three Rohacell cone bass drivers, this time supplemented by a front-firing Flowport. Like all of our dedicated bass-only drivers, the basic rigidity of the radiating area is enhanced by our novel 'mushroom' construction, a girder-like component that supports the central area of the dustcap.

Hi all
Just curious -- what's the consensus on what these are worth? I realize my biggest challenge will be to find someone local to purchase...but I want to make sure that I have them priced "right".
Thanks for the feedback!
