There are a pair of hpm 900 available locally for $250.  They have slit damage to the dust cover.  Do you think this is a good price?

That's absolutely worth it IMO. Those dust caps are not original anyway and can be replaced. Those go for much more than that typically. If they work well it's a nice price for a very nice speaker!

Thanks Rob!
 
Coming from you that means alot. I'm going to see about purchasing them then.
The other option
 
Edit: the other option is a pair of excellent condition B&W DM3000 for $350.  Theres also a listing for one owner cornwalls in excellent condition for just under $600 though thatsabovemy limit unfortunately.

Need some advice guys. There is a pair of Pioneer CS A31 in mint/near mint condition going for $150 locally. Worth it? 

 

[Skylab]

Nope. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for those.

Thanks for getting my back Rob!! The guy was quite a salesman. He said that that they were basically LNIB and that he had the original receipt. Said that you couldn't find a pair like this anywhere. 
 
Anyway thanks for the backup...

Matt what KLH did you get?

So the owner of the Klipsch Cornwalls returned my call. If these one owner speakers are in good shape are they worth the $600 asking price? Anything specific I should look at/for if I go see them tomorrow afternoon?

Oh, absolutely. I see them go for $800-$1200 locally all the time.

I've started doing some research and the little I've read so far seems to say these horn loud speakers benefit alot from tunes. I have headphone tube amps but have no interest (read bankroll) in getting a speaker tube amp.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether vintage Solid state can do them justice or should I hold out for pioneer hpms or equivalent?

BCE I agree with CP on the price. Moody is driving his CW with his 9090db (ss), if I'm correct and loves them.

I picked up the KLH model 38. They are not the ones I was looking for but they came up locally for about the cost of lunch so I decided to give them a shot.
