2007 The Absolute Sound, Editors Choice Award

Includes: Original everything.

Superb small bookshelf speakers with a world class Silver Pearl finish. You won't beleive the quality of fit, finish, and sound for such a small price. Honestly, I don't know how they do it.

Can I pick them up for a weekend demo on Friday if nobody commits to a sale? Based on the demo I could give you definite answer on Monday. I should be getting back from Jersey tonight.

Cool speakers. If I didn't just send a MO for some LSi7s, I might take these for a spin.

Whomever gets them should enjoy em. Sami, if you pick them up, post your impressions since you also owned some LSi7s, if I recall correctly.

Nice monitors. How much for the frog with the umbrella?

I was thinking of doing a shootout with the LSi7's but they are surrounds and I'm not sure if I have the time to unhook them and set up a station for a comparison. Oh well, I probably will. Russ, I got your e-mail, I'm pretty serious about getting them, if not for anything else but they might be a perfect fit for a friend of mine. If they sell easily then go ahead but if not, I will pick them up and give them a listen next to LSi7's and decide where they stand.

They are gone fellas, sold yesterday afternoon to a gentleman in New Orleans.

Face, Mr Frog ain't for sale - I don't know WHY I like him, but I do. Maybe it's a memory of the 'Frog and Toad Together' books I liked as a child, who knows.

That's funny. The Lsi7s I bought were (and still are) in New Orleans. If you decide to hand deliver them, Russ, grab my Lsi7s for me :)

There are some in Silver on Agon for a similar price, Sami, if you'd like to continue to your quest.

That wasn't me who inquired about him. :D
