Run, don't walk.  These are considered by many to be the finest value in home audio…at this price it's a steal.  Seller is local, i'm sure you could talk him down some.

I've only heard magnapans once, and they were sweeeeet.

Really think twice before getting a turntable.  I have two (one a gift) and I never use them.  There was a time when I was, but just make sure you have space for your vinyl.  It is hard to put it somewhere, since it takes so much space.

Don't you have a kid on the way?  I'd think twice about that.  They piss and shit all the time, and they take up a whole bunch of space.  Mine needed their own rooms until it just got tired of them and shoved them in a closet.

That's borderline child abuse, innit?

Seriously? So spending $100 on a TT would be a waste of money? Bummer. I'd like to get TT someday, but not if it takes $250 to start.

You can get a basic tt for $100 easy.

yes, anything that isn't in the $250-400 range would be a waste of money to me.  if you have a halfway-decent hi-fi, it's an enormous step up from the sub-$100 tables to the real entry level "audiophile" tables.  the good thing is that demand at this level is pushing good companies to focus more on producing and reducing prices of their entry level builds.
