Is This Receiver And Speaker Combo A Good Deal??

[Wildcat]

Some of those AV units have a stereo direct bypass. Ive had a couple that do sound pretty good.

I have a Sony GX700ES that sounds really good...when the "Sound Field" crap is bypassed. It puts out a lot more current than the standard Sony receiver line and really drives speakers well.

I trust you recapped it.

The cabs were slightly water swollen at the bottom corners so I just sold them off "as is". Funny thing they sounded better in the garage while I was demo-ing them than I remembered in the house. They never were serious keepers for me. TBH I sold them for the same price as the OP posted. I still think it's a good bang for the buck deal.

It's probably not a great idea to give qualifiers on how something sounds when you don't even know if it was working correctly. I read another thread earlier where someone claimed that the JBL Titanium tweeters sounded "muffled". Bright? Maybe. Fatiguing? Perhaps to some. Muffled? Not to anyone with working speakers and ears.
