Minor Blemishes to cabinet in areas not readily apparent (imo). Edge damage on grills that negatively impact sound quality anyhow and probably shouldn’t be used. Sonically perfect. These are amazing speakers for my asking price but my new space won’t allow me to set these up conveniently. The first time I listened to these, it literally brought tears to my eyes. If you’re looking for a tower speaker and looking for high bang for your buck, you’d be hard pressed to do better than these. I had lsi15 before these and the stock incarnation of those are rubbish compared to these. Currently cash/carry only.

Make an offer if you’re interested and willing to go ahead if I accept. I accepted two offers elsewhere and people ghosted me but I’m guessing polkies won’t do that. 😉zrste915lmbc.jpeg

    Meetup along Madison to northern Chicago burbs possible or along Madison-Milwaukee route.

    If you’ve had your ears on 705’s, this is a no brainer, folks! That being said, make an offer before I come to my senses. 😉

    Nice deal here. I've owned the 703 & 706c but always wanted to try these out. I currently have serious health issues and have been off work. However, if things were normal I would be trying to buy these from you. I remember I purchased a set of Boston Acoustics VR3 towers up that way. I'm in NW Indiana.

    Someone needs to grab these!

    Bump!

    705’s absolutely destroy the 703’s with a good amp, as one would expect

    I’m not sure. Maybe people think they’re trashed? They aren’t.

    Would love to own them just can’t justify buying them seeing my lsi15’s been sitting unused for more than a year now. But your right this is a heck of a deal. I been wanting some since they were on blowout for twice this price.

    Wow what a steal. I don’t think I could let mine go anywhere near that.

    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. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Maybe I should just get a center and sub to go with these and my 703’s. I don’t think I can go lower than $600. Oh well, I’ll hook them back up and suffer for a bit longer, I guess. 😉

    I"m sick Dogonit! and off work, bad timing or I would be running LSiM again. There are even some matching 704 & 706 centers available out there.

    You're sending a PM, maybe you are finally ready to move from your LSi to LSiM? :)

    Someone needs to do something to help this seller out!

    I’m taking the delivery/meetup option off the table. My rotator cuff isn’t responding to therapy and my PT told me to restrict my exertion to my exercise to the exercises. I also had a personal issue pop up and I wouldn’t be up for a long car trip right now. Sorry for the bait/switch. $600 at my door still gets them

    I actually have two people hounding me to sell my 703’s despite them not being for sale. I was stupid enough to disclose what I was replacing the 705’s with twice. I don’t learn from my mistakes, apparently. 🤦‍♂️

    They had plenty of opportunities to purchase the 703’s from me, they were for sale at a tremendous bargain for several weeks before you purchased them from me. Those 703’s are really nice bookies. I doubt highly that you’d be able to replace them for anywhere near what they went for.
