    You don't know by now? How many posts?

    If in the advertised condition, sure it's a good deal.

    lol - i was thinking if you want to set up a home theatre system with lots of room - these (4 or them) would be a nice compliment to some SDA fronts. Maybe by a pair of polk motinor 5s and flip them over on their side and use them as a center channel speaker.

    but i'd try to make sure all my tweets were peerless or some such thing

    just my two pence worth

    I feel they're worth it. If the man will take 100.00, they're well worth it. They have a softer laid back high end and all the bass you'd need except for rap. That's they're only fault but since I hate rap, they're pretty darn good for how cheap they're selling for. Monitor 7's are more balanced if you like med. listening levels.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    IMO? Absolutely. Condition looks great. Peerless tweets...earlier drivers with the gray paper rings.

    Offer $100, I'm sure he'll take it. Even at $125 it's a good deal though IMO.

    I was tempted to pick these up too, but instead I think I might get another set of RTA 11t's (to be used as side surrounds, to match my rear surrounds).

    But can you ever have "too many" speakers? :D

    When you can build a "fort" out of them, you have too many speakers.

    Just contacted a gentleman in Baltimore about his craigslist posting for 1 pair SDA 1's and 1 pair SDA 2's. He mentions that some 2 or 3 of the mid ranges in the SDA 1's and 2 of the mid ranges in the SDA 2's need replaced. No pictures of them but seems like a nice enough person. He is asking $500 for all 4. Any thoughts? I told him I would be down Sunday to look at them, anything I should be looking for?
