    Yeah, that's a pretty decent deal. The LS50's are small towers and were the lowest priced speaker in the LS line behind the LS70's and 90's. I had a pair for many years and in my opinion they are much better Home Theater speakers than for music. The CS350LS is the matching center channel speaker and is very nice. The LS50's retailed for $800 per pair and the CS350LS retailed for $400 and it's probably worth around $150 by itself. Depending on what the small speakers are it could be a pretty good deal.
    Not sure what he means by '2 small front speakers'. The LS50's would be the fronts and the small speakers should be the rears. Also not sure what he means by 'base' speaker.
