Up for consideration is a pair of maple PSB B15 bookshelf speekers. When revamping my system, I bought these for rear surround duty. In the interest of full disclosure after installing them in the mounts, I came home and one had fallen out of the mounts. In my absolute disgust in myself and my OCD tendencies, I immediately purchased a new pair because of the cosmetic blemishes that happened in the fall.
So here's the bad: there is some wrinkling of the vinyl where it hit the floor but nothing real noticable. Secondly, the plastic housing where the woofer sits cracked upon impact.
Here's the good: The crack is barely noticable and obviously hidden when the grill is installed. None of these issues affect the performance of the speaker itself. (I have tested at moderate volumes and the woofer and tweeter are intact with no rattling or anything like that).
They will ship in original packaging from PSB. I will pay shipping. If you are not satisfied after receiving them, I will gladly refund your money upon return of the speakers (at your expense).
Pictures will be posted later this weekend. These come very well reviewed and I absolutely love this company. Specs are listed below:

I will post pictures later this weekend, but they look identical to the ones on the PSB website.
I paid $279 a couple months ago, so I am thinking $175 shipped. If you are local and interested, I will gladly audition them for you and give them up for $150 local pick-up.
