How much did they sell for new (these look slike late 80's ones)? I see a 15" woofer, ~2" horn mid, and 1" horn tweeter and a read firing 15 or 18" passive unit. They sound incredible. The receiver I use has a lot of background noise, so I might be buying a brand new Primare unit in a month (I get em' cheap), but in the mean time, there is a constant 'hisssss' in the background. Cabinets are structurally sound, with a few minor nics on the corners. Grill cloth is covered in dog hair, but they are otherwise perfect (no tears or anything) The grills have never been removed it looks like, albert some dust, the drivers all work (tested at pawn shop) and are in MINT condition. One of the rear passive things has a minor scratch that does NOT penetrate the cone. Wow. $100 including tax. ---------------- ---------------- On 11/5/2004 4:15:31 PM kenratboy wrote: Yup. $100 at a pawn shop. I am forever indebted to Frzninvt for spotting the deal for me.
