The theater guild I volunteered at used a pair of the speakers as hallway monitors for the stage audio feed. I ended up with Mom's old pair of them. They sounded ok. If I recall, the woofers had paper surrounds, but the throw was very long for a paper surround.Gazdatronikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433310276367027476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-60177638407913526302014-05-12T22:23:09.343-05:002014-05-12T22:23:09.343-05:00Excellent.

Got it for $30 without the stand(figured I didn't need it) with my first pay. The plastic speaker cabinets had the first tweeters I'd ever owned, thought that was high tech.
