I couldn't pass them up...
I have a habit of checking the KSL Classifieds (the SLC version of CL, but infinitely better search engine) daily for anything I can't live without. Like most of you I'm sure, I do not need any more gear, but...
Anyway, I came across these a few weeks ago, and didn't give them much thought until I saw a fellow member looking for a pair. Turns out, he wanted the natural wood finish. So a few days go by, and I see they are still for sale, so I message the seller and ask if they would consider $125. I've never experienced the "ring radiator" tweeter, and figure these may be fun to play with. They said no, and I forgot about it.
Then I get a call out of the blue last weekend from the seller, asking if I'm still interested. I said sure, but I only have $100 in my "Audio fund" (McCormack pretty much killed it). The seller says no problem, so long story short, they live with me now...
Oh, and the stands were included;-)

Too much stuff to keep track of.

KSL is the local radio/tv conglomerate in the Salt Lake City area. They run a classified section on their web site - free, just like Craig's List. You can sort by category, just like CL, but they also have a sub-category selection. I look at "home audio - speakers" and "home audio - other" daily. "Home Audio Other" is where I found my McCormack - usually where you find amps, preamps, and the like. There is a separate section for "Home Audio Receivers", so I don't have to wade through them.
