Saw these just now while browsing. Not sure what they are exactly. Just judging from the size, look and brand.....160 dollars seems be a fairly awesome price.

If it was a more than outstanding deal I might have to jump even though I dont have the extra cash....

    Will do. I know little to nothing about vintage....so looking for info is new to me.

    *edit* After two days of searching, I could only find a review of the rs-325's on audioreview and a sale of the rs425s on ebay. I'm very curious about these and I don't know why....

    I found this posted on a forum supposedly from the Orion audio bluebook. Not sure if the pricing is for each or a pair. Must be each. Doesn't mention the passive radiator. The post was from 2003 :rolleyes:

    Hmm, doesn't sound as good as I figured they would be. Not a big deal though, just moving along. Haha.

    They sure do look nice though.
