YES! I have had a pair since they were new. Listening to them right now as a matter of fact. I much prefer them to the Mach series from RS. They probably will need to have the foam surrounds replaced by now. Make sure that the original 10" drivers are still in the cabinets. They are 16 Ohm drivers connected in parallel. If someone has changed the drivers to something else I would pass on them. If they need to be refoamed, no worries, it's easy. Just so the price reflects the need to do so.
There are several old threads about them here on AK. Search in the speakers forum for more info.

They can handle a lot of power (100 Watts+?, I don't remember the specs) but they still sound good in an old-school kind of way on a wide variety of music at low listening levels as well as loud R&R. Good, solid tight bass without a hint of booming that drives me nuts regardless of the volume. I also find the midrange and the treble to be smooth and sweet. Not brassy or overly bright like some horns or piezo drivers can be.
I drive them with a Pioneer Spec-4. I also have a pair of Klipsch 3.5s right beside them being driven by a Yamaha M45 Power amp. I don't have the room to stack them but would if I could. Either pair can stand on their own but strangely enough they co-exist and play very nicely together.
As much as I like them, I think that they represent(ed) a very good value for their price range but there are many other worthy contenders out there that are every bit as good and/or better. It's all a matter of taste and budget. For me, I like them just fine and have enjoyed them for may years. I doubt that I would ever consider selling them. If the price is right for you I would grab them. I hope that they are local to you because shipping them could be costly and risky.
If you do get them, how about letting us know what you think of them?

cool. I have been up to state collage and also have been past it on my way by dubois pa. My parents have a camping site up at treasure lake. I used to go there every weekend as a child. Now it's like once or twice a year I will go up and visit with my parents and go camping.
