You've got to see this ad. looks like SDAs but the owner made them in to a TV stand. is the price worth trying to fix them?

    That's been posted before. He'll never sell them.

    Ask him to send you a picture of the back of the speaker.
    Tell him just the speakers for $100 or offer $150 and flip the Denon for $75

    yeah not sure i want to take the time and effort to fix them... not the most handy guy in the world but depending on what i could work him down to might be worth it. something to think about b/c i doubt they'll sell very quickly..

    Even the top shelf is warped and sagging in the middle. Speakers may be fine however. Fill the screw holes for now. Veneer them later.

    If you get them for low enough, you could even sell all the drivers and make a profit.

    LOL! That's a good one Steve! Jake might have the best answer,(part it out) if__ the seller comes way down on his price.

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.
