Local guy on CL is selling a pair for $300. Says in good condition but needs foam grills. Not at all familiar with these speakers. Have over 200wpc to power them. Are these any good?

    CarverAudio.com & that sites forum has a bunch of info on them.

    Those exact speaker are on my "Get your ears on these speakers" list.

    300 is a pretty good deal on em too.

    Run, don't walk. If they work, they are priceless for the coin. You may never seek another speaker.
