AudiogoN ForSale: Cardersound Madison Double Mouth

New so it is $$.

Yeah, I was looking at those earlier today and they are some beautiful speakers, just a little too costly at the moment.
I understand you get what you pay for in audio (to an extent and if you can avoid the snake oil), but the reason I want to keep a low budget is due to the fact that I don't know if the whole SET + speaker setup will be for me.

Long story short, I was able to pick up a Moth Audio Si2A3 which I intended to use almost exclusively as a HP amp (which, so far, I've been ridiculously pleased with), but I figured since it's an integrated, I'd give some high efficiency speakers a shot with it too. Maybe I'll like it, maybe not. That's why I didn't want to jump in with both feet, buying a pair of $4000 speakers prior to testing the waters. The Moth is already serving its main purpose extremely well, so I figured it was a no-lose situation with speakers as long I was buying used and could resell for close to what I paid if I wasn't impressed.
