these are a rare find. I believe this was sad to his last attempt at great hi fi. these are sleepers ounch way above their weight class. Easily compare to modern sets costing $ 2,000 by klh ,and JBL. it would be painless for you to pay $500 for these speakers they sound that good they're built that well. come listen to them . buy them for just $200. every time you throw your stereo you will smile.
