    Are those your anti-diffraction felt pads, or were those stock on those speakers?

    Today I noticed some WA Watch surround speakers for sale here locally on FBM...asking $3,800.

    I can't imagine only using them for surround purposes, but wondering if they are worth the price. I think for use as a true high-end surround, they are supposed to wall-mounted upside down.

    Thanks guys

    Those are way overpriced Jody, 2k to 2500 is the going rate I've seen for those. They use the same tweeter dome as the mezzo but a much cheaper motor

    They were best up pretty good, renegotiated with the seller a fair price for their condition... I won't go into details but they were advertised as a 8 out of 10 but much closer to a 2 out of 10

    Have them thrown on the desk and sound excellent, tons of bass with the 8 inch revelator woofer! Plan to reorganize the desk in the next few weeks.

    8 out of 10? LOL He must reside in a beautiful, lakefront mansion (that's really a beat up double wide with a small pond off to the side).

    Still looking forward to hearing them, regardless.

    I was listening last night and given they are being driven with a 50 dollar integrated they sounded quite nice. May pick up a nicer integrated in the future but really for my desk it is way more than needed haha

    On a scale of 1-10 how well do they replicate finger cymbals?

    I may have a problem. I believe this will elevate finger cymbal reproduction

    Looks like some good tubes in that sucker. What is it and can it cook hot dogs?

    I noticed that. I had thought the Valvo labeled tubes looked like mullards from my vantage point

    Yeah, i am pretty excited to hear them. I will try them on the Grande... 95db 1w/1m... 40 watts per channel should be fine.

    Never owned a tube amp :p
