*update*
I finally picked the speakers up last night, along with the NAD receiver. This was definitely one of those weird encounters...he had them listed on Offer Up and Let Go, but not Craigslist, and prices were all over the place. I could tell he was into good stereo gear in the past, but drugs have gotten the best of him nowadays. I feel like I rescued the speakers more than anything. They're a solid 7/10, but reek like smoke. I'm gonna buy some Febreeze for them today and clean them up before I bring them inside to listen. Same with the amp, it reeks and needs a bath.
I'm curious about the rod that runs through the cabinet...one of them sticks out past the wood on the bottom and is not flush with the wood, so it won't sit level on a hard surface. What's up with that? How can I fix it? I have tile floors.
