Hey guys,
I am looking for a pair of old or used speakers to give to my younger brother for a x-mas gift. He is a fresh-meat in college and like to do the whole wild loud drunk music parties to impress the ladies. I gave a him a real bad pair to start him off with but they hardly worth the gas he used to drive them there. I was wondering if any one in the upper mid-west had any un-loved speakers they would be willing to part with for less than $50 - $60 that would be functional and durable enough for frat life.
Thanks dudes

Someone should have some Cerwin Vega's around here. They'll fit the bill. If not, maybe some Pioneer HPM-##s series. -
Thanks Dave any of those would be awsome

Check your local craigslist.

Yea I have been looking for a couple months no good deals. All I could find were some vega D-'s with real bad foam rot and the guy thought they were worth $125 still. I thought that was lame. For $25 less than that I could get him some brand new r300's from Fry's but it is just more than I wanted to spend

ebay-perhaps some DJ/Pro speakers? To withstand abuse,. Or maybe even some outdoor rated speakers-that ought to take the occasional spilled beer.____________________

I have two pair of Infinity floor-standers, both operating flawlessly, that I'd GIVE to you if you were closer.

I've got a pair of Technics Sb-series that i would give to you if you had a way of getting them out there. Also have a huge pair of Pioneers i would sell for probably $40, same thing applies.
If you want something shippable, my Polk VS-25s are sitting here all lonely, but i don't know if they'd provide the volume levels a frat party requires.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.
