Looking for a pair of 5JR's...prefer later models with SL2500 tweets, but open to anything...just must have the PR. These will be part of a wedding gift for a good friend so they must not be beaters...don't have to be museum quality but must be presentable (cabs, grills, etc.). Pickup in the Philly/NYC corridor a huge plus, also willing to drive any reasonable direction from the Philly area for the right pair. Let me know what you have and we'll talk turkey. :)

UPDATE: Search is over, see below

    After further consideration a 'regular' Monitor 5 would work for my friend's space as well, so if you have a pair to move, I'm here.

    I have a couple mint spare parts for sale if you do find a pair that may need new grills or an extra set of stock crossovers. Good luck.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I got in touch with the guy Loud & Clear linked, and the 5JR's showed up yesterday...very nice overall, some scuffs on the bottom but...they are on the bottom. No biggie. Only bummer was that they had the SL2000's, but they aren't for me, and my friend probably wouldn't care either way...they sound nice as it is. Thanks for the tip!
