Although I got a good deal on them, I was in Utah at the time. So the shipping was crazy....
I am saving them for my new workshop project...

$33 each for 16 speaker plus shipping.... that can add up
I got a cheap radio shack turntable for xmas. plugged it into my old brokedown Luxman, and listen to some great old country music coming out of my Bose 301s and 201s.
Kudos to Lotek btw for directing me to a repair shop
