    For someone local, not a bad deal for the money. Decent all purpose speakers. I used LS50's for side surround speakers for awhile. Someone could part these out perhaps. I know the drivers and tweeters can be used also in the LS90's.

    Very cool! If I didn't already have 2Bs, I might go look at them myself.

    Left Maui 1:30 pm yesterday, arrived in Columbus 12:30 pm today. Do note there is a 6 hour time difference, still a long flight. Made arrangements to see the 2B's and drove 140 mile round trip to pick them up. Excellent condition with all the original paperwork and manuals. He wanted $300.00 for them and I did not dicker, too tired and I wanted them. Sound excellent, now time for some shuteye and back to the grind tomorrow.

    Now that's a deal! Somebody needs to grab those and keep them in the "family". I'd be on the phone and email right now if I were closer.

    I was thinking in the $700-800 range max. I am not interested in bringing home any more large speakers, just wanted to pass this along. I'm supposedly a hoarder (collector) already.

    +1 $300.00 a pair is a good price on a pair of LS90's . $600.00 for two pairs is ok, but see if he'll take $550.00.
