After hearing my new to me 12Bs, his price w/new tweeters and condition has a good price point to start with if not stay with. Jmho though.
With the right receiver or amp and pre, these are AMAZING sounding speakers.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Price is high, needs at least a tweeter, but interesting none the less.

He must've lowered the price from $675 to $575. Says "tweeters not working" ...........really, ALL of them? Anyway I guess those are the less desirable tweeters anyway and most would want to replace all 6 of them. I need to move to CA.George / NJ

^^^^^^^^^^^^Good price.
A re-clothing of the grills is surely needed but easy to do if they are particle board.
I wonder how much mold is behind the grills and is there any water damage to the bottoms of them.

No scam... I really did need these but I picked them up today...
Brought them home and other then a few mark's here and there they are in very nice shape.
After looking them over turned out to be only one tweeter bad out of the 6 the owner lead me to believe. I had a spare sl3000 leftover from my 3.1TL's when I did the 198 upgrade. I popped it in and all is good now.
Not sure if I'm going to keep them or not but I'm definitely going to update them a bit.
I have some Black hole 5, new screws and I'll seal the cabinets and glue the magnets.
Happy so far... -

No that's just some gear I throw together to check them out...
That's a Carver 55 and a Carver CT-17 preamp..
These speakers have a ton of SPL.!! -
