    I am!! But I agree with you on the price, too high. Then again... How often do they come up for sale?

    On the other hand, I'm trying to save for a different piece for my other hobby.

    Thanks for the heads up @DaveHo , I'll keep it in mind.

    How far is that from you Arty?

    So here's my offer. Make your best deal, and I will PP the funds to you, so you can pay in cash! That, IMO, is the least I can do as you helped me out.

    For helping me in my time of need, and distress, over this whole MC300 amp issue and drama (220v)! I really appreciate the help and support you gave me, and on top of that retrieving the shipping box from what could have been a bad situation. Just ship the box back to me at your convenience, as I now have room for it!

    I really do appreciate your help Arty! Just want to return the favor, a bit. And, even though we never met, I consider you a friend. You are yet another example of why I love CP so much!

    Thank you sir!

    I believe they carry different part numbers...

    I'm sure you're right, but they sure look similar.

    If you're referring to the "RTi10 pair and RTi4 pair," I could be the first leg of Polkie Express up to as far as Cherokee, NC.
    Or did you mean the Monitor 12s?

    If that's possible.... Hmmm, might be worth letting the worms eat into my brains.

    Too much, for both examples.

    True, but those 2B's are in fine shape. What's $100 or $150 if they're rare to come up in your area in good condition? People spend that in a night at the bar just to feel like doodoo the next day.

    It is a good great deal. I would be more tempted if the M12 were not in black. I jokingly showed my wife the pic to 'test the waters'. She wasn't very enthusiastic.
