So today I made a two hour journey to some dude living in more backwoods that I grew up in. He had a pair of Altec Lansing speakers, offered them for $180, and they looked pretty nice. Pretty nice turned out to be a drastic understatement. Holy fuckin asscrackers.

The sound from these things is incredible. I'm definitely going to be getting some 48's with these in my new house. I believe these things actually retail for around... $1100. Craigslist is quite a deal. Specs:
