Nothing wrong with buying used in good condition provided the price is reasonable. $1100 is above market for 805 Matrix but may be good for 805N's.
I have the 805 Matrix and really like them a lot but when I first tried them they sounded a lot better with some amps than with others.
I'm not sure if their crossover gives some amps trouble, if they are just more revealing than most speakers, or its something else but the difference between amps was greater than I've ever heard before.
I understand that the 805N's are at least as demanding.
I strongly suggest arranging to hear them on your amp unless you are also prepared to change amps.
