    For 89$ and the peerless tweets, good deal i think

    That's the SL2500 tweeter... Monitor 7. Still good for the asking price.

    Are the Monitor 12’s especially good? I didn’t even know they exist before now. Are they just valuable because they are unobtanium?

    Never had a listen, but they are unobtainium, using similar passives as the 3.1s

    I did a bit of research on them, and they sound like nice speakers, but a lot of people seem to think that they are boomy. Better placement needed, perhaps? :smile:

    It's a good price when there's none available... It's realistically the largest SDA I can use in my house without choking them.

    So, Is there something wrong with offering to "hold" or "store" a set of speakers for another member?

    Quick question. Has anyone purchased items on Goodwills' auction site?
    I'm trying to gather info on a possible purchase.

    My brother bought a pair of oakely sunglasses, not really audio related but it was off their site
