These used to be $1000 at ABT a while ago but I never got the chance to listen to them and now they are on sale at Vanns. What do you think? Do they sound good?
Audio system lost to water damage... :(

    No, they don't sound very good.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I think you could do much better for the money.

    ugh, 2, 3" woofer drivers to hit down to 40hz at anything near noticable? I love it when specs give a frequency response range without the decibel ratings ;)
