    I'm not sure the poster has enough key words in his ad. I guess this is where rare makes them "valuable". Interesting conversation piece, but I'll save my money. Thanks for posting the link.

    "If you're looking at this, then you know how rare if ever these speakers come around." Really??... apologies to all, but I get a kick out of ads that tell me that I must know how good something is because I am reading the ad.....I've read lots of ads for stuff that is crap....too much time on my hands...this would have been a great "WTF is this" pic?

    Yes, the seller was a prat, I just liked the pics. I was thinking of that entire surface pulsing to a beat would look cool with them stuck into the corners of a room, sort of alien compared to the normal fare.
