    Score!
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

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

    Randy, dude those look great. Some differences w/ my M7s and maybe others will chime in. Yours have either a bull nose or beveled front (which I like), my '78s don't and finish wise yours have a nicer finish but I think a different faux wood pattern to my rosewood. For that price and conditionotomy,you got some nice speakers. My place Unique Thrift as a chain all much bigger and better set up than any Good Will store, also either has 25% off on 1st Mondays of the month or maybe just all Mondays, I forget.

    This is the place I was talking about. They have more cyber sites on line just for a peek, and the actual brick and mortar stores mostly central and north Jersey.

    ^^^^ keep me away from places like that LOL. I pop into 3-4 places around here looking for vinyl & they always have goodies. We have a Salvation Army store & the guy there saved me the klh23's & Advent1's i showed him pictures how they came out after surrounds & reconditioning & i told him id do his for free. I love the projects

    Waaay overpriced. However, since your a long standing member and nice guy,

    I'll send the $28.49 plus shipping costs to take them off your hands :D

    NICE FIND~
