These could be interesting. A little info online, but has anyone heard these?

    I'd save my money if I were you. Unless you want to use the cabinets for a DIY project. That's what I did because the cabinets on those are the best thing they got going for them. Just my opinion of course. I have a set very similar to those that I picked up at a GW a few years back. Sounded TERRIBLE, I gutted them. Made new baffles and turned them into subs.

    And still $80 is too much, offer like $25.

    My Dad had a similar pair of Utah's when I was growing up. They were given to me in my 20's to use in my then rig, horrible speakers, downright horrible sounding.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
