    Speakers dangling from the ceiling??? Forget it.

    I wonder where he got his starting price from. Seems a bit ambitious.

    Great way to burn $50 in listing fees.

    You are all idiots. The price is high because they are obviously going to hatch into much nicer, bigger speakers. Didn't anyone pay attention in biology?

    Symmetry can be boring in room decorations. Items should be grouped so that they make a collective statement and not be placed too close or far apart. Staggering items at different heights adds a pleasing variety to the room’s decor.

    Least thats what I think the wife might have told me. :D

    I think his original price was meant to be $30 but he missplaced the period. Interesting... "I think they could be Focal, but can't verify this..." Sounds to good to be true. I'm gonna see if he'll take $5000.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Pricey,yes. I'll have to say that whoever made those used some pretty wood. I wonder if he meant $300. Focal?? or not, think of what one could get for $3000 on the used market.:confused:

    eh, too nice, notice, it's using real wood. ;)

    "[A] pair made from scratch the price would easily exceed my opening bid price." Well, I'm sure the "generic switchcraft jack" are the budget breaker on this type of project. :rolleyes:
