@FestYboy, Eventually you'll come across a smoking deal. Then we'll say you suck!!
In the meantime you might have some very slight anger issues....
LOL!!!
Of course I sometimes have those ever so slight anger issues myself when someone beats me to an Offer up/Craigslist smoking deal.....
-
I agree...Keep a look out Arty.
You'll get some more sweet deals. Guaranteed. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I bought them, but I'm afraid I paid retail. $60 wasn't necessarily a bargain.
Well when you eventually find your Pin/Blade CRS's and if you happen to find a 2nd pair you don't want. Let me know I'm only a state away...... And I will do the same on my end if I find a 2nd pair first. -

I search almost daily... Which lead me to the 8Ts I picked up today. Not for a bad price, but nothing like I see @la2vegas gets on the regular. It's all about location though. -
Location, location, location.
You are sooo right.
San Francisco was/is the place to be this past year for sure!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I've never seen these before. Anyone have experience with them?
-
No experience with them, but SoCal is swamped with them. I can't search craigslist without seeing a few pairs of these.

No problem. Just being inquisitive rather than serious about them. I have too many now!

@la2vegas It appears you're a Raiders fan. In late summer of 2004 after an evening of golf several of us had an unexpected visitor. One of our league members had a close friend that was an Asst. A.D. at Nebraska. After golf the Asst. AD walks into the bar we were at with Bill Callahan. Bill was starting his head coaching job at Nebraska the next day. I think they were coming from the Omaha airport and driving to Lincoln. Bill sat across the table from me. We had a nice short talk. Another friend sitting next to Bill, a huge Raider's fan, asked him if he thought it was going to be harder living up to what Nebraska was expecting or having had to work for Al Davis. Bill laughed and really was kind of unsure how to answer as he was not prepared for such a question. In the four years that followed he had the lowest winning percentage by a head coach at Nebraska in 46 years.

Those M3's are FANTASTIC!
I've owned and have been using them for 20 years in my living-room for rear surrounds and in my dining-room for main fronts for just as long. I was going to use some for my back porch but haven't done it yet.
I have M5's for my dinning-room rears too.
BUT when you buy them, MAKE SURE THE MOUNTING BRACKET and IT'S TWO LOCKING PINS ARE ALL WITH THEM. The bracket and pins are NESSESARY to be able to mount then up in a corner of the room. Or anywhere on a wall you desire. Those brackets have brilliant engineering designed into them! Brilliant!
They have better bass output mounted in a corner and they just sound RIGHT there to me.
I owned about 7 pair of them at once. If I saw some at a yard sale or pawn shop or where ever for cheap, ( 40.00 or less) I'd buy them. That was a long time ago. They're cheaper now for sure.
Remember...The mounting bracket and PINS are essential! Unless they're 5.00 a pair, even I would buy them for that and just put them on a shelf I guess.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I have those at my lady's house. They're good for a patio or surrounds. See them often for $30-60.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

SDA SRS 2s. No Affil.
@codycatalist, I am confused about these?? Either it's the same guy from a few weeks ago that was asking $375.00 firm and now wanting a $100 more or someone else bought them for $375 or less and is trying to flip them for a $100 more. It's definitely the same pair since you can't mistake the home made metal jumpers on the speaker terminals on one side.... -

I believe they were called Mini Monitors, they were designed to go on the dashboard of a car, or something like that. Others here will be able to give you more details.
