    Lovely pair for not a bad price.
    There is one more pair in Oregon but for $500, so I don't post it here.

    RT-5000 surround set for $995 in Denver. No subs. Buddy of mine is selling these and he's a straight shooter.

    Always loved that crossover and tweeter sitting up there on top for the world to see. Never heard a set but would like to one day.

    I like mine. They are connected to a Denon receiver. They and a center are used daily for tv and streaming shows. I spin vinyl through them too sometimes. I'd like to put some rear with them but with this being an old concrete block house I'm scared about trying to run the wires and it not look nice.

    Wire them up. It will look just fine. Wire is a work of art. Especially the oxygen free 6000.00 per foot stuff you know.

    It's a set of FXi30. I'll set them up one day. Just not sure on where and how to make it happen.

    Not my speakers, and apparently at 36 I'm too old to figure out how Facebook marketplace works and so I won't provide a link. Seems like a really good price for a clean pair of speakers!

    Those are what the model 10's should have been. Get after them if they're close.

    The apparent explanation is that someone at SonicCraft checks all the 33uF Sonic Caps and finds the ones that spec out within some tolerance of 34uF. Then they label them by hand, and sell them for about 100.00 bucks apiece.

    As tight as the tolerances are at SonicCraft The guy deserves 100 bucks to sit and try and find them.

    Since their 33uF, 34uF, and 35uF are so close to each other, they probably discover some during precision matching services and relabel any that are closer to a nearby value, even though they are still within tolerance.
