Did not buy this - because I am saving them for afterlife2 or rojo.

MB Quart Alexxa tower speakers $261.98 each

Phew the price went back up. I was sweating these.

It did look like a mistake - however, somebody missed out.
I did put them in the cart at that previous low price - and
it would have taken it. However, at this time I did not have
any use for them.

They would have been a serious set of stereo speakers, for that deal.

However, I will look around and find something for you.

Had not heard of this one. Saw the trailer on The Tale of Princess Kaguya and it looked really interesting and the review said highly recommended (it actually said this should have won the Oscar) so I ordered it.

I thought for the price you'd grab them and sell them later if need be. We both missed out. Maybe one day the MB Quart VS05 will reappear for a good price when rojo sells em.

Well, I might sell mine for $990.90 plus shipping.

No place to put them - and I do not want the dogs to think
that they are seeing some trees.

They have a passive sub too: http://www.amazon.com/ANV-515-Passived-Sub-Woofer-Speaker-Silver/dp/B005CKN00U/ref=pd_rhf_cr_s_cp_6_XNEH?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DZERSMNKC5SPQE3F7ZQ

For a cheap speaker the center channel measurements are good

If you are not going to open them - then mail them out.

These look interesting though and pretty, but no reviews: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AV-152OC-2-1Horn-Tweeter-Speakers-2-Bookshelf-1-Center-Speaker-Ivory-Finish/121591362960?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=1&asc=29384&meid=9243f48e211348899bd1ed5ef87ba4d0&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=4&sd=121610401043&rt=nc

I expect the horn tweeter to drive me nuts - for that price.
However, maybe OK for a kid on a computer.

Just waiting for the right time to open them.

Give it a try. Double tweeter in center should have you intrigued a bit. SHOOTOUT. Seems like they would do a good job. If not you can always return them.

Just picked up the Monoprice 8 outlet Home Theatre Power Center.

Got it on sale and so far very nice...

Not likely. You know, I just get more impressed by my VS05Bs as time goes on. This evening I decided to turn off the LFE channel on my receiver so I wouldn't disturb my sleeping daughter. I watched a couple of movies without LFE, but was confused when I still heard <40Hz rumble. I had to touch one of my subs to make sure they were indeed off, and they were. Bookshelfs aren't supposed to produce bass like that, are they? And their bass extension is the least of their positive qualities.

 

[afterlife2]

Well if they appear used and sold cheaply I'm sure you and Z will let me know.
