While scrolling the local ads for a set of 8Ts, these guys piqued my interest as they are about the size I'd like to incorporate into a small office setup.
Anyone have experience with these? Should I hold out for The 8TL's? I'd be running them with a rebuilt Onkyo Integra A8190...

    No experience, but at $60, not much to lose.

    i had that very model 4 years ago & they sounded pretty good. Like Joey said for 60 bucks u cant go wrong. I did not have them long enough to make a full report. My flipping days. I had the smaller B&W cdm1 or 2's with the raise up from cabinet tweeter & wow those sounded sweet. Those wont last long at that price
    ---EDIT--- they were CDM1se B&Ws. Here is online pic. My bad
