Damn good grab Beemer!! Feed them at least 150WPC and let us know what you think of them.:thmbsp:

Paul, I am next in line for those, that was going to be my birthday present to myself! Damn you and your quick fingers! I cant believe that I missed those at 6 AM when I signed on this morning! When did you contact him?

Nice snag Beemer, by the pics, they look to be in good shape. I figured one of you Mass guys already had a line on them. Let us know how they sound / look when you get them home.

LOL sorry John! His title may not have been that good for these. Had he said "Vandersteen" in it they probably would have gone even faster.

The Vandies have the biwire option, and the grille socks and wood are in good shape with only a few minor scrapes. 150 Watts eh?! LOL dig out the Adcom 555II and let it rip. I'm gonna go and hook 'em up out in the garage shortly.

Best,

Paul :thmbsp:

Nice. One of the speakers I'd never pass up.

for $50, you are a crook, my friend!

LOL Paul! I don't feel like a crook, however there's this big grin.....

Looking forward to hearing your impressions!!!

 

[beemer]

Vandies are nice and clean, appear to be the 2Ci model. One 8" woofer the cone has parted from the rubber surround. Other one is good and plays fine.
I did a search here and found how to get in to these cabinets and got the woofer out. Looks like I'll be calling Vandersteen tomorrow to get a new woofer shipped.

Other than that, the speakers are fine. I'm looking forward to fixin' them.

Best,

Paul :thmbsp:

Well Beemer, I guess the best man won! I feel a little better about missing out on what was going to be my B-day present to myself, cause the wife just took me out to a nice Japanese restaraunt for my B-day gift. Gotta belly full of seaweed salad and 4 different kinds of sushi, so I don't seem to mind anymore! I'm expecting a complete review when you get them all back together and singing!

 

[thedelihaus]

excellent meal, John! Get any red snapper?

I thought a birddog only eats birds.:scratch2: Brad

I'm married, Paul. Once you get married, you no longer get red snapper... Or an opinion, an equal voice, or pretty much anything democratic or fun.

Or were you talking about the piscean red snapper?
