I don't really need another one. Any reason to buy this for parts?
Any known issues with any of the drivers?

I, like you, already had one of these centers. I bought a second one for 20 bucks as a part donor. This one looks better than mine so 40 dollars ain't bad.

Any thoughts regarding the asking price?
Great price but almost all of the x150 line need new gain boards, ugs6 versus ugs4.
Runs around 500 plus shipping each way
So always ask about this- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Yes buy for parts. The woofers do end up with spider problems.... eventually.
I've seen the drivers alone go for 30-50 dollars on the auction site. -

Glenn: I wish I could help you on the Empire subs. I bought one the first week they were offered. It still sits in it's box, never unpacked.
The speaker is sealed rather than ported, goes very low, supposed to be very good for music rather than just for home theater, so I've read.
They are known to have had many amplifier failures. The exact number and/or percentage that fail will probably never be known as they are out of business. I've seen mention if you do not crank up the volume to excess on the sub they will stay working. But that may just be a few people's story.
There have been postings on other forums regarding replacing a failed amp.
The CL asking price of $280.00 for two is very good. Mine was $699.00 new. -
Agree and have also read of amp failures. I've had an Empire in my HT system since approx 2011 and it's currently paired w/my L800's to great affect. Have had a minor issue w/the auto off feature being touchy coming on but set it to on and have no problems. Well worth the price for 2. There are folks that have worked around the failed amps, so think with that in mind and if as advertised won't break the bank for a seriously good payoff.

@ZLTFUL used a Dayton plate amp to replace a blown one.
I have also seen a lot of guys that leave the plate amp physically there but bypass it and use an external pro amp to drive them (after installing a set of binding posts)."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."
