Just thought this price was too good for somebody that needs them to pass up. Wish I had the coin just to try them out. :D

    The ad is inaccurate and overall horrible but the price isn't bad as long as they are in good condition.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    That's pretty high for a pair of those... They may be worth that to someone really looking for a pair (i'd pay it for a minty local pair) but normally people here score them for $150 or less.

    The last pair i barely missed went for $75. Minty.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    I sell those for $200 or less. $150 is what I think I let the last two pair go for.

    Paid $50 for a pair of these one time. They needed new fabric on the grills and had a small tear in one of the PR surrounds, but they were otherwise fine. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a set unless they had RDO tweeters installed.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
