Realistic Mach 2 Speakers - $50

[MTaylor]

I might be buying these from a local guy, is this a good deal?

He says the foam surrounds are in good shape and these were purchased new 15 years ago. They have a walnut veneer that is pretty rough.

I'm worried they might sound bad or not work well with my el-cheapo Yamaha HTR-5830.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!

Sound better than they look. The tweeters are worth the 50 bucks IMO.

Don't know about the Yamaha HTR-5830 but I assume it's for home theatre, which means it's probably not great for music. For $50, that's a good deal, and if you end up not liking them I'm sure you could at least get back what you put in, if not make a bit. I'd say go for it. You can get a decent stereo receiver or amp for $50 or less as well, and you'd have a decent setup right off the bat. Good luck!

It's a good deal! They are a decent sounding speaker!

You will be pleasantly suprised. Radio Shack speakers are oftern overlooked and under estimated. Not all but many of them. If you don't like them, let me know where you live and we might be able to work something out... I had a set and loved them, but had to sell to help pay what insurance wouldn't cover for my daughter's birth... priorities. But now the kid is 3 years old, so its time to get more toys!
