calling bs about the Sinatra and this quote "I wanted them for my home recording studio so I sent them out to Great Plains Audio to re-cone the speakers and replace the diaphragms on the horns.". If they were so great , why is he selling these, especially if all the "greats" used these in recording? =/ If this staement is true , these should be in a museum... just my 2 cents.....
But they do look good... & I would get them @ $600 if I could get them that low...

I wasn't looking at the claimed heritage. Just looking at the components. These crossovers go for big bucks.
Shipping quotes are abomidable.....$900 from NY to Oregon with cabs, $200 with just the drivers.
I've had cylinder heads shipped for less, they weigh more.

Geez, I've been watching those, he's about 5 mi from me... a divorce costs more than $600 though...

I really want a pair of Westlake subwoofers, but i know that once added to the price, shipping will be a dealbreaker. CA to NY might be the one rate worse than NY to OR.
I hear ya...the problem in my case is I would have to pay for BOTH the speakers and the divorce....can only afford one, and the divorce seems pointless without the speakers....:DQuote:

Worth sending a email to the seller..

The shipping is quite ridiculous if you did yourself called freightqoute with weight, dimensions and everything the most it should be is $400 in my opinion.Just did some freight.Essentially doubled.
Doh!!.. forgot about the villainous S word when it comes to ebay..... $400? whew!! I take it that is with the cabs then right? For that amount, and If I wanted them bad enough I would drive up to NY and pick them up myself... oh well , there's always a "catch".
