For $150 I’d take a chance if they were in my neck of the woods. If they didn’t work out, I know my son would like them, I BET I could MAKE them sound OK. They would work perfectly as the rear channels in a surround sound behind my A8 Clones. Off topic; Since I use full amp bass tone controls PLUS 12 Db bottom EQ boost at low sound levels, could I plug one EQ into a second EQ for double the affect?
