Just curious if anyone has experience with this speaker? Obviously, they would have to be auditioned to confirm overall condition and if they work, but if they do, is this a good deal? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Yes, those would be a good deal if in working condition/decent cosmetically. Make sure you like the sound though. They might not be very strong in the bass dept. I believe the larger models are more sought after.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
