The other day I spotted a set of Utopia #6 splits, in their briefcase, and they dont look like theyve ever been installed (no marking around grub screws or anything). I nearly jizzed when i saw them.
Theyre asking $1599 for them which is nuts cheap. If anyone wants them I am more than happy to go get them and post them off for a small fee (1.5 hour round drive to pick em up + post).

Steal for anyone in the market for a great 2-way set.

and if anyone who is worried about giving money to a stranger to pick up a set of $1600 speakers for them, many people on MEA will vouch for me to put your mind at ease :) I just wanna see someone on MEA get a set of cheap Utopia #6!

If they are real, then someone is genuinely crazy to have palmed them off to Cashies!
Fake? Possibly. Real? Anyone had a set of Be's stolen recently?!

Those have been sitting at Canning Vale cashies for quite some time. Either they are fake or people genuinly don't know what's staring them in the face.
This was also raised in the "great Buys" thread I think.
Woob if you want to save yourself a trip I'd be happy to pick these up for a member.

i snapped a photo of the serial number. C012000826
If they are fake, they are like no fake ive seen before. Ive seen the real thing at Martys workshop and these were a dead ringer.
oh and cheers Mosoto, handier for me :) I reckon with some bargaining they could go as low as $1300. the guy was silly enough to tell me that they paid $1100 for them
There was a Clarion HXD2 in there for $900 too

The Cashies add at one stage made out that it was just the cross over for sale which is kinda misleading.
Otherwise, I'm sure that they would have sold by now.
