Thinking about purchasing vandersteen 5's what's a

Because of their weight-- 225 lbs. each when packed on their own pallets, and the difficulty packing and shipping them, I think the Vandersteen 5s can be difficult to sell when shipping is involved. I'd guess that most are sold with some kind of local pickup arrangement. For this reason, I thought long and hard before I bought mine, and I intend to keep them indefinitely. They are wonderful speakers. Good Luck. Craig
