    Perhaps. Not real sure yet. Knowing my luck I will miss them. I am still curious as what they are worth. Any ideas?

    Looks promising.
    If the drivers are TAD, they're worth a lot.

    I'm certainly not familiar with these speakers, but TAD drivers can go into the 1000s on high end models. So one can only guess here. From the cutouts in one of the links above I'd guess these are very heavy, incredibly well-braced cabs and that if you can get them and not spend a small fortune, they're probably worth a "listen"?

    What are the boys "asking" for a used pair?

    Well, I gotta see what I can about funding them. They are fairly local to me. Supposedly being ran off a cheap AVR.:eek:

    Now thats a crime man. Tad drivers ? I'd grab them anyway, those drivers alone are worth the price of admission.

    See some listed in a search over in Japan. Price says 50,000 yen which is about a tad over 600 bucks U.S.
