Well I wake up this morning start up the computer and as I do every morning browse Craigslist for some audio equipment. Imagine my surprise:eek: when I found this. http://portland.craigslist.org/msg/141071557.html I thought to myself no way these are still available. So I called the guy up to see if he stilled had them, he said yeah(excitement heightened:D )I asked him a few questions about the shape they were in and if they were the same as pictured. He said they were, I said with blue mid, he said yeah. He lived about 40 minutes from me so I told him I be there at 11 he said no problem. Well I go on my trek to his house which is up on Mt Hood. I am speeding along trying to keep at the speed limit. I keep thinking to myself no way no way. Well I finally get up to his house or um trailer and I'm greeted by the junk yard dog from hell complete with chain to the fence. I could not get all the way up to his trailer since I did not have 6 inches of lift on my Saab and forgot the mud tires at home. So I parked the car and suddenly had a vision of Mike Brady saying to Greg "caveat emptor" Luckily I did have some hiking shoes on and hiked up the mud to his house. Some 14 year old wanna be Daisy Duke answered the door and asked if I was here for the speakers. I could barely hear over the dog but I said yeah. She said her dad was inside. Now I'm getting a bit nervous but damn, they were LSi. I go inside a met her dad, he procedes to go into some sort of makeshift studio. He said there they are....:D :confused: :eek: :mad: in that order. There they were, the Lsi7 to Monitor 4 miracle. Needless to say I told the person no thanks and proceeded home. So if anyone is in need of some 5/10 Monitor 4's I know where some are at.
