A client passed away and his wife has asked if I could find a home for his 802 Diamond speakers. There is no way I can afford these, and I won't insult her with a lowball, so I am looking for advise on how to dispose of them for her.

We work with a shop here in Minneapolis that sells equipment for people on consignmet.

Is there a high end shop in your area that can do that for you?

Call your regional B&W rep. They can probably help find a new home for those awesome speakers. :)

I say make her an offer. They would rather you enjoy them. Trade her for service or something she made need for. This is assuming she is not hurting for money.

Oh, sure- come here and ask, after I pour my heart out about them . I get it. It's OK. Really.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather get some 'advice'?

You could call Jacques or Brian to find out if they'd sell them on consignment, I guess.
