    Lets see. 37 hours driving time, lots of gas, and then the same back.

    I'll just have to pay the extra thousand when I see a local pair.

    @nooshinjohn

    I could never get those to fly in my house :smile: . I saw them, showed them to the wife and said, hey look these are my next speakers.

    Next thing I know I was somehow face down on the floor and had a rather large red welt on my face.

    Weird.

    They are nice looking but I will pass...

    However @indyhawg..... you should look at those...

    You've never owned 2.3's, you have a basement mancave, the space and amplification to make em sing :smile:

    I just got off the phone with the seller. I may try to head up there in the morning. Timing is not good. I will have to do some rearranging of my schedule.

    Yes please buy them so they stop tempting me. I have been looking at them for over a week now. I just don't have the room for them. Also from the pictures it looks like most of the dust cones are pushed in. I don't think that is a big deal but should not have happened if the grills were on. Also the left PR looks a little funky. Let us know the condition when you get them.

    What are the top and bottom drivers in the two rows of four? They look like small passive radiators.

    It looked "funky" to me also. I will get back on touch with the seeley tonight when I have more time to talk. Tough to have a conversation while I am at work. I would hate to drive all the way up there to discover they are jacked up.

    Unfortunately, I can't work anything out with my schedule. Maybe they will last another weekend.

    Anyone in the Chicago area checked these out?
