For Sale: 1 pair of Speaker Labs "7" speakers

I have for sale a pair of Speaker Labs "7" speakers

These speakers use the same midrange horn and tweeter
that are used in Klipshorn Speakers.

For the low end they use a 12" and a 10" driver
hooked up in parallel.

They are pretty big (aprox. 2.75'tall X  1.75'across X 1.5'deep)
and weigh about 95 pounds each

I will sell these for $300 for the pair.
At $150 apiece there are no speakers on the market
that come close to the sound or quality of these speakers
at double the price.

Another way of looking at this is that at 95 pounds apiece
and a selling rate of $150 these speakers cost $1.58 a pound
which is cheaper than chicken.

A rule of thumb for buying audio equipment is to spend
about 1/2 of your (audio) budget on the speakers.
The justification is that it takes a high quality speaker
to match the performance of even the average proced amplifiers
or recievers. By buying these speakers you can beat that system
and get a much better quality hi-fi system for less.

These speakers should be heard to be appreciated.
