Did they come with key holes on the back for wall mounting?
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

These things are sick.... And heavy! Thuffman needed medical attention after helping nick carry them in.


They're currently setup to be tri-amped with an active x-over. We didn't have a 3 way available so we just hooked up the woofer and were amazed.

If the rest performs a well, nick is going to be a happy man.

Tom, after you finish rebuilding your super towers, these would make nice rear surround sound speakers for home theatre.
