A co-worker brought this in, offering it for sale. Myself not interested, but being into home audio it peaked my curiousity. He couldnt offer many detail's offer than stating that "It crank's dude":rolleyes: 3 piece setup include's 2 4" sats, and what look's like a passive Sub with two 6 1/2" driver's, know it's a discontinued item. Anybody ever heard it? What would you place its' value at? Figure about 8 years old. Thanks'

    I've seen those before...I've always wanted to check one out. They seem to be fairly uncommon too.

    I'm thinking one of those setups, with another pair of the satellites might make a good surround setup for a bedroom system or something.

    Yeah, seemed kind of odd to me, 2 sats' and one sub, sold has a setup. So intrigued by it i might HAVE to buy it to hear how it sound's, Ha Ha!:D Wow, no cure for this bug! Wife would have a fit:eek:

    Go for it!

    And then sell it to me sometime down the road so I can check it out.:cool:

    No...there isn't a cure for this bug unfortunately, only methods of suppression. Honestly though, do you really want a cure?;) I know I don't.

    I'm just lucky to not have a wife...lol I don't have to deal with fits whenever I buy a new piece of audio gear...lol

    lol...When she see's it and asks "what's that!?", just remind her that you've had it for a while...just "in storage". You just got it back out.;)...lol

    I'm interested in hearing how it sounds. It looks like it'd make a decent little office rig...or for a smaller room or something.

    Edit-They would probably also make some killer computer speakers for that matter.
