Picked up some Towers



For only $600 for the pair...Sound Advice/Tweter is having a sell on these right now
50% off

I saved 900 from the Manufactures website

Hooked them up and they are amazing, crystal clear and i like the look to them also

So if anyone else is looking for a set of speakers check out these stores!

Love the speakers Ron.

If I could afford it, I would get Paradigm speakers.

sweet, i want some towers, i might have to go DIY though....

i like the side firing design, so it keeps the front nice, thin and clean.

Anyone ever owned Definitive speakers? My friend had some and they shook his place - tweeters/mids fired forwards and backwards, side firing subs - they rattled my teeth. Nice looking speakers by the way. Congrats on the bargain.

Yes, they are nice. He must have had the super towers that have built-in powered subs.

Some people aren't a fan of the bi-polar design for music though.
