Tearing down the computer rig for a variety of reason's. My brother most likely is taking the Nakamichi reciever. I'm keeping the AMC dac for future use, so the Athena's need to find a home.
Very competent compact bookshelf speaker. Black Ash, silver baffle and black grills.
5 1/4" Mid-woofer
Tetron dome tweeter.
Rear port
I am the original owner and bought them new. Retail $150. I have the box and packing. Less than a year old. Like new, no scuffs, scratches, etc.

These are on par with the Polk R-15's although I think they sound a bit smoother and the vocal presentation is better. That's where these things really excel is vocal's.

Bump for the weekend. If I don't move these they will go in the closet. Nice sounding little speakers for not a lot of $$$. It's a shame to put 'em away in a closet.
