he wants to be talked out. Maybe he needs a real man to man talk. Like my mother used to say: "Are you nuts? Children in African are starving!"

30 year old speakers - in general - are not worth a 12 hour drive and $700. Consider two factors - can you sell them and who else the seller could sell them to? They are too expensive to ship, a pain to store, keeping something you don't love is more of a hassle than a joy. Speaker are so subjective, there is really less than 20% chance that you will fall in love with them, in your room, with your gear. |
@thecarpathian makes it sound so appealing, I want to join. |
@thecarpathian cool! Does sound like a region out of the touristy tracks. |
@celo I am with you, I would be hesitant to ask too, but then again: Karma, I am sure you have done favors too, expecting nothing in return |
In that case, @gbmcleod and everyone else raving about them were high as a kite. These speakers suck. Forget about them. |
let me sum it up: you advertised your noble but still insane quest (only sensible to the insanest of audiophiles) as you would drive 12 hours each way for a speaker you had never heard and never seen. It turns out, you would have done it ONLY when you were driving up there anyway, only a measly 5 hours away! After all, you are just normal |
@thecarpathian that was really funny. I am sorry. Please keep them coming. But mix in some Florida roasting too |
