    Dr. Frankenstein selling his Cerwin Vega's! :p

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/ele/1569824240.html


    BIG SOUND from a pair of Full Size CERWIN VEGA - D7's - 12 Inch Woofer with Dual Back Ports.
    D7's come standard with 2 Large front mounted mid ranges centered between a horn loaded tweeter.
    To further increase high frequency output and projection, a second CV 1 inch dome tweeter has been added to the front.
    Additionally to increase depth, an extra CV mid and old school CV horn loaded tweeter has been installed on the back.
    All together, this provides three mid range and three tweeters per speaker - thus matching the powerful woofers output!
    Vegas are know for their high sound pressure levels with minimal power input
    and with the addition of two tweeters and one mid per speaker, the sonic output and clarity are astounding.
    They can be used for home theater, stereo, any music, or any occasion as these sound good even at low levels.
    Cabinets are in good shape but grills need help (Included)."34 X 14 1/2 X 16" - 770-875-2268

    kinda funny here.. you can get all of these polks brand new for the prices he's asking..

    http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ele/1574439814.html

    actually if you want some good laughs.. you should look at the dallas craigslist electronics section and search polk.. most of these people have their used gear way inflated..

    one guy even went so far as to state the CS 1 is one of the BEST center speakers ever made.

    Agreed the link he provides is to Axiom Audio. The speakers are totally different to what is being sold.

    while his price is just below original MSRP.. its still ridiculous as anyone who does their research just needs to go to newegg. I'll be emailing him at lunch with a link to newegg to see what he says.

    So here's the email I sent him.. very nice and informative.. then you can see his response afterward.

    "Hey just so you know.. you have those priced way too high for "used" speakers.. they have no box, so they are not new, even if you never hooked them up.. These are discontinued models and while they may have retailed for 199 when you got them they are not worth that now.. you can get these for $110 a piece brand new on newegg.com ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290014 )and often they are just 90 dollars a piece if you're patient.. so you should probably revise you ad to change it to around 150-175 not 350 just an FYI"

    response: "Get a life Idiot. Yes they are discontinued, but only the refurbished ones even come close to the prices you are talking about. Put the dirty magazines away, get dressed, get a brain and get lost"

    what a pleasant guy.
