    My buddy bought them and then saw a set of totems he preferred and wanted to know if I wanted them. I never heard the CRS' but hear good things about them, but I don't want to overpay (not even my boy) for them

    If the stands are included it's not too bad of a price. It would be nice if they had the IC cable. If they have the pin/blade socket I believe they can be upgraded to TL's but I'm not certain about that.

    It's an ok price, not a steal. Enjoy.

    I might be interested in softening your investment if you want to off-load the stands?

    I'd do it personally. IF you have the money and really want them of course, but its not a bad price IMO.
