Yes, I bought them from Igor. How'd you guess, were you considering them too? I think I got an amazing deal actually. If fed ex pays the claim I'll be happy. The second speaker arrived undamaged. Looks like they were manufactured in 2006 or 2007. Other than the fed ex damage they are perfect. Drivers were not damaged in shipping and they are perfect. The cabinet damage is minor and on the side. A little wood filler and some careful black touch up and it will be hardly noticeable. As for the crossover I got the quote back from PMC. $750 plus shipping (plus installation but I would handle that). I figure fed ex owes me quite a sum but its been 5 full business days since I filed the claim and not a peep from them yet. I called them twice but apparently I just have to wait for them to contact me. Don't see how they could do anything but payout. I insured each speaker for the amount of the pair and I'm claiming a lot less than that for repairs. The box was in bad shape when it arrived. And the cabinet damage lines up perfectly with one of the larger holes in the box. The PMC packaging is very thick and sturdy. There is no doubt in my mind they did this in shipping.
BTW, why are you selling yours?
