These sure would be cool for a 70's man cave. Not sure I want to pay $700 for a conversation piece though.

    NEVER seen those, wild.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Yes I have, Carl. I'm a big fan of Design Acoustics speakers. I have a few pairs of their later models (PS-6,10,10A).

    The 10's are outstanding, great speaker for a loft or flat downtown.

    I just told my wife that I wanted to show her the next speakers we're getting for the house and pulled this up. I thought she was going to throw-up, LOL.
