Jaco1553552754 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Hello, first time for me and I'm not 100% sure if I'm in the right place. Perhaps you could put me right. I'm wanting to buy a pair of Shahinian Arcs. Some would say "Why" Well, like most speakers, they're subjective. I like the Arc sound so if anyone has a pair they want to sell, must be in good condition, let me know. Many thanks Jaco
WI=3 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Welcome to the forum, Jaco. There is a wanted section under Marketplace that you could use, although I am not sure whether you have to have made a certain amount of posts or some such thing to use it. Anyway, I can perfectly understand why you want some arcs, I have had mine for many years now and even though I have gone out looking for something else I have never been able to find speakers I prefer. There is a certain magic about the presentation of the arcs that makes listening to music on them incredibly satisfying. Good luck with your quest.
KevinO Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Talk to Gareth or Charles at Soundline here in Wellington.They may know of something.Failing that , try Terry at Soundline in Christchurch.He occasionally has Shahininans in as trade in items.
Statsman Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Not sure how big your listening area is, but there's a nice pair of obelisks on TM right now...
WI=3 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Just remembered that Romesh at the Listening post in Hamilton had some second hand arcs going for three grand or so just recently. Give him a ring and see if they are stilll there.
Jaco1553552754 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 Many thanks to the members that have replied. I appreciate the advice etc and will follow up. I made an enquiry to LP in Hamilton and missed out on the pair they had. Have been in touch with Soundline and am making progress. I have seen the TM auction but prefer the Arcs. Any further suggestions gratefully appreciated.
SSEGRUB Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Right now on TM, there is a guy with a set of Arcs who is bidding on the Obeliscs...so this could be your chance to make a move on the Arcs via the questions and answers section ,as you could be the catalyst for every one to get what they want
kaka Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 And what's more that auction is a model of how to deal with questions Just perfect http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Home-audio/Speakers-and-stands/Floor-speakers/auction-325384175.htm
WI=3 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Actually I am the guy on the auction sniffing after the obelisks, although I do love my arcs. I have just sent a PM to Jaco.
Jaco1553552754 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 Still no luck with buying a pair of Arcs. Anyone wanting to sell their pair please let me know. Many thanks for all leads also.
