    Ha; maybe with all that fog and smoke he can't see well and that's why he has them positioned so badly.

    Wow, you guys are quick! I corrected the category, thanks!

    I'm also selling a Rosco Fog Machine and used that as a template for this listing.

    As for position, I haven't listened to these speakers in about 15 years. They sit in this room of my house that is unused. I turned them simply for the sake of the pictures. The user manual has complete instructions on placement as well as spiking the speakers or fastening them to the wall.

    BTW, I haven't used any of the YAMAHA components (M-80, C-80, T-80, CDX-1100U) to the right of the speaker in the last 15 years either. Let me know if you're interested. I have all these treasures that would make the most discerning connoisseur drool just sitting there.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    BTW, I can arrange for these to be shipped by freight at actual cost.

    Welcome, Jim.

    It would also be good to note if you have the interconnect cable for the speakers.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Thanks for the welcomes and the heads up on the interconnect cable. I added that information to the listing. I've had a bunch of interest already and there are 15 eBay users watching the listing in only the first day of this 10-day listing. It will be a shame for the guy that bids low rather than using the the buy-it-now because it's likely these could go for more than the $1100 buy-it-now once more people start bidding.

    Who knows, maybe it's just a lot of curious people without much spare change right now and I'll be fortunate to find a buyer at all. This economy has been tough on most of us.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    I just posted a new picture on the listing with one of the original boxes. I forgot how good even the boxes looked. ;)

    Lots of watchers, but no bidders yet. Hmmm.....

    Audi-oh-phile,

    Any chance you coming to CA? I am highly interested but driving is a problem right now. What city are you in AZ?

    I live in Mesa and sorry, but I don't even own a truck. Try Uship.com It's a bunch of independent haulers that bid for your business. You can find some really good bargains when guys are looking for just another item or two to fill their load.

    Good luck.

    I just ran a quote from fedex ground... It would cost less that two hundred bucks to ship from Mesa to Lafayette, Indiana... I am not in on these, but wanted to say that shipping via fedex is not to bad on cost. I used 150lbs as a shipping weight for each... this was for residential pickup and delivery.

    Ok! I'll try to find a mean to get them from Mesa to CA. I would drive up there but not at the moment. How long can you hold them if I decide to come up to take them later?

    What zip code are you in?

    Ship From: 85213
    Shipping Weight: 155 lbs each speaker
    Box Dimensions: 60" x 24" x 17"

    Uship.com is a bunch of independent haulers that bid for your business. Just submit your details and watch the bids come in. It's usually guys that are trying to grab some other items to fill their load on a route they're already committed to travel.

    I've used them to ship motorcycle I bought out of state a couple times and I've been very pleased.
