I can see that I'm coming to this thread a little late. I bought a pair of these behemoths over the summer at a tag sale. Ten bucks for the pair. The cabinets are beaten up and scuffed but the drivers look like new....maybe too new. The midrange driver is an almost purpleesh/brown color so maybe someone could tell me if this sounds like original equipment. Build quality is exceptional. They're solid, 45Lbs+ and a pain to move. I've played them inside and out, but they've sounded best for me outside for parties. Good soundstage, maybe not the last word in imaging. Indoors, they're just a bit too much. They sound a little like my Dad's single speaker HI-FI from the 50's.....Their also not not the last word in spouse approval factor. The speakers are relatively easy to drive. I've used both a Sansui and Pioneer receiver from the 70's rated at 25 watts p/ch. I'm guessing they have a high sensitivity.
