  Think those are worth a 5 hour round trip?

  
  Easily. I did 26 hours for 2B's, I'd do 5 hours for 3.1's without a second thought.

  I did a 4 hour round trip for my SDA-CRS pair. In 1998, I did 30 seconds for my 2.3tl's. My uncle, one street over sold them to me when I was 19 years old. Still love them!

  I want/need some CRS stands, along with several others I have read. One of you metal working men should get a group buy going for CRS stands, clones of the originals. I would buy a set.
  I am a woodworker, cabinets and furniture usually. I considered making my own from wood, but it would have to be designed differently. I think steel is the way to go here, or maybe wood with steel skeleton on the inside.

  Get a list going, and I will see if it's worth doing. The more I can build at one time will help with cost, but shipping will cost so keep that in mind...

  Of course.
  They are (I mean were) my pair.

  I sold them to this guy in Centennial.
  In fact, I sold him 3 pairs of SDA's.
  Good thing is finally they'll get some upgrade since they are in your hands.

  Well, I'm now a member of the 6 hour round trip for SDA's club. Just a few blemishes here and there, but all in all quite handsome if I must say.
