Selling my relatively babied first iteration MG 944's which are working perfectly and have been been driven by my  Taboo.     Always used with cotton cloth on top to protect finish.     See pics at US Audio Mart.     Asking $900.   Have factory boxes with inserts.  I have used these for the past 6 to 8 years most often in bedroom system although recently in main system with a custom built  2a3 Burgess amp.      

Hey Charlieboy,    Cant blame you for trying although not letting it go at this point.   Its an almost 50lb creation with the larger square James opt's instead of the usual round ,smaller ones.  Mundorf silver and oil ,   taps for 4, 8, 16 ohm and very thick aluminum chassis with coca bola or similar wood sides .  

2a3 SET Charlie,   a few  more watts than the 45.  It drove it .  Don't know that I would want to try with a 45 based.  If I could upload pics here I would show it..    If you like send me your email and I will send you some pics.    I've never had problems uploading pics on any other site so dont know what the deal is .   Cant upload an avatar even.   Did you check the pics of the 944's @ Audio Mart?     I bought them from someone who had just bought them and hardly used. They have been getting good usage  since 07 I think it was ---I forget how I found out when I got them --just yesterday ...  Memory the bain of the aging process.     Im not doing so bad though just turned 72.   Hopefully moving out of the bay area about 3.5 hrs northeast a bit.

Cant believe someone hasn't made an offer on these, esp on Agon or Audio Asylum.     Maybe not so noticeable that they are for sale as posted here because of no pics.   Will entertain offers.   Tell that friend who needs to upgrade to  more SET friendly speakers.  Iv'e really enjoyed them for the past 7 years and conflicted about letting them go. It will help me lighten the load a bit for a hoped for upcoming move.

Here we go again.   REDuced to   $650---actual cost of shipping to buyer. .  All factory packing including that special custom made mdf hard cover made esp for these.  Only discovered those covers when I went to pack them up.   Forgot they were there.

these are sold.     Unfortunately ,  the buyer had a very difficult time--(I'm going to try and not cap on him here)  being present for the delivery.  And due to UPS lugging these around more than 3 attempts apparently ..  3 of the drivers were damaged.    I had repeatedly gave a heads up to this buyer to not let the carrier hold onto them ,, to no avail.    Of course this could of happened anywhere within the process..    Interestingly,  Factory boxes with ALL the inserts (inc custom cover for the front)  were used to ship.   My take on it as my experience over the years shipping  leads me to believe that the boxes were slammed down---both of them --with no damage occurring to the cabinets  ---only the drivers-- the cones were puckered out    A lot of force needed for that to happen.   I immediately followed up with making a claim and communicated with Steve re/replacement drivers and gave all the pertinent info to buyer.   To top it all off --- He told me he was scheduling an inspection which of course UPS requires.   A few days ago I get a letter from UPS saying that they have been unable to schedule an inspection with this person!     Well,  maybe he is just going to order the drivers which are pretty reasonable   I was going to contact him re/UPS closing the claim but I already caught hell from him with his complaints that I was lecturing him  (the missed deliveries)   so I have  elected to let him do whatever it is  he is going to do about it.    Never ceases to confound  that someone out there would be so seemingly disconnected from the realities of the shipping process esp re/electronics    or at least follow up in order to get compensated for damages by the carrier.  

You really don't want to see how badly packages are treated by the 20 year old kids at the UPS loading dock.
A kid that worked for me always told the story of how it was a game for them to kick anything marked fragile.
Part of my job is managing a tool crib, the UPS truck backs up every morning and they start kicking boxes out, literally. Shipper beware.

Could easily hash out a long thread on the perils of shipping and that would include troubles no matter who the carrier might be.   Although I will have to say that I have had very good luck the last 15 yrs using FEDEX.    I have shipped lots of gear as my feedback @A'gon would testify.   I will admit I am a bit of a obsessive packer and its always important to visualize  the potential of a package taking a 6 foot drop and ask oneself--will it survive?    and pack accordingly.   And when buying I've gotten tired of grilling the seller in the most appropriate manner of course about how they will pack if they do not have OEM boxing.   And even with OEM boxing I need particulars.   At any rate,  It still involves a certain amount of luck and certainly one of the prerequisites  is taking delivery on the first attempt.    I am a bit surprised that the buyer of the MG944's did not at least follow up with UPS re/damages.    It was overall a very unpleasant transaction experience for me .  I like to glean some satisfaction from a transaction and give it my full attention to ensure maximum potential for success and that requires the buyer to participate as well ---so can't imagine what this guy was thinking .    

yeah fedex here too.  never a problem.

and i've shipped 3 sota turntables!  they are big heavy and are prone to get damaged.
