    Get your wallet out and beat it......lol.

    BTW welcome, and yes those are nice speakers.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Yep, nice speakers.....but with anything that old, some updating is going to be needed and that too cost money. You can save a lot if your handy and can do most the work yourself.

    Welcome. Get your read on, lots of good stuff to take in. A little bad, once in a while, to dismiss and ignore. Or jump right in and fight it out. Enjoy. :)

    Welcome!

    You'll get lots of advice, and you can spend a lot of money on those SRSs.

    Enjoy them as-is for awhile -- then dive into the rabbit hole! If you do the right things, you'll be richly rewarded.

    Again, welcome!

    Welcome, if you hang out long enough, audio will be the least part of being a polkie.

    Even though the audio advice and wisdom we got here has been invaluable, the friendships and brotherhood are even more precious.
