The owner that I got the EPI's and Optimus 5's e-mailed that he was having a garage sale and I should stop by if I was interested. Long story short my likes an antique oak table they were selling for $75 and he threw in the Imperials for free.

Have heard mixed comments about their SQ but cabinets look real nice and the grills are in great shape. Hope to give them a listen tomorrow.

Wow, Marantz loudspeakers. Never knew they produced speakers. In photo #5, the tweeter looks damaged. Is that the case? If so, they may not sound right. Let us know !!

That appears to be the way the tweeter was designed since they both look exactly alike so it is doubtful they would be damaged the exact same way.
