Got these F/X 500i for $55.00. The guy said he used them for about a year then put them in the closet. Damn these things are heavy. Now I just have to learn about bi-pole, di-pole.

    Replaced my R150's this morning with the F/X's....what a difference! I guess sooner or later I'll have to match the rest of my system to the surrounds. Sounds pretty good for right now though.

    Awesome steal!

    The craigslist around here stinks, people buy things off it, then relist the same thing on it and mark it up at twice the price they paid. Which Im sure is done everywhere, but just seems the usual here.
