I just scored a pair of MIT Shotgun S3's speaker cables so I no longer need my trusty Terminator 2's. They served me well and sounded excellent for so long. I have always wanted to move up the MIT chain and I finally did. These are the last generation T2's with the ribbed gray network boxes, and the extra durable gray sheathing. They come with Iconn banana plugs on all ends.

I would rate them a solid 8/10 based on age. The only blemishes I see is some of the stenciling on the cable pants is starting to wear. Otherwise these are in almost like new condition. I have the original box/packing these came in. These are the cables that put MIT on the map because they were more affordable but still have xcellent performance

1 pair MIT Terminator 2 - 8' Speaker cables -Gray
Last generation
Large ribbed network boxes
Iconn Banana plugs on all ends
Original Box

$175 - shipped and pay pal'd in the US

Post interest here and/or PM.

Pics will be posted tonight.

Thanks for looking

    I myself have viewed this ad about 10 times today. I really would like to jump on this but would be pushing myself a bit thin for the month. How I wish you posted this 2 weeks from now.

    I will tonight. I took some last night and didn't get the ad posted until this morning at work, and I thought I had my camera with me, but I don't. I'll get them up this evening.

    One can wish but unless I come up with the money today, I'm 97% positive they will be sold today. Nothing more to think about. I want them, just can't do it this moment in time.

    I might. I haven't decided if I'm going to get rid of the extra pairs I have. If you can sit tight and let me think about it, I'll let you know.

    I tried to PM you, but your box is full. Still awaiting word back from the buyer. He was all gung-ho and sent me 2 PM's, now nothing since I told him yesterday morning they are his. I know people get busy, etc.........but as amped up as he was for these, I thought he would have atleast responded to the PM's I sent him. I want to give him a fair amount of time, but I'm thinking by tomorrow early AM (I leave for work at 7AM CST) if he hasn't responded they are yours.

    I think a full 48 hours is fair.

    Great transaction! Brocks packaging is second to none and the condition is better than described. We all know this already, but Brock is one of the good guys here and I cannot recommend dealing with him highly enough.


    Thanks man!
