    I hear you; I had a pair in the early '90's while stationed in Turkey, because I didn't want to bring the "big" system. They really impressed me.

    I know i regret selling them! I was selling a pair of monitor 10's and made the mistake of letting him see them and hearing them and he paid me stupid money for them. I had too!
