    I don't know what the driving force is in why people want more for them these days but I would never spend that coin on them..

    Maybe a smokers pair. A reduction to 500 or lower maybe. 3 torn drivers, ouch.

    Then a trip to Johann's crafts for grill cloth material and a bottle of 409 cleaner from the grocery store.

    409 dissolves nicotine almost instantly. I've used it many times on speakers and receivers. Get the scented 409, it makes the messy clean-up smell a bit easier to bare.

    I've thought the same exact thing. They might not own any spray cleaner.

    And how busy can somebody be to not want to take the time to clean items for pictures. I also think, what does the rest of their environment look like ? !

    Will do.

    They are going into a spare room that was my wife's and is becoming a den now. She wants the TV from my stereo room for it, I said sure as long as I can put a two channel stereo in it too. o:)

    They should be hooked up by mid afternoon.
