|   Speaker bargain? | jeskibuff
Dec 8, 2002 8:37 PM | | "Jimmy C" has commmented a couple of times in this forum about his Dayton BR-1 speakers. They come only in kit form. Here's one of his posts:
<a href="/crforum?13@@.ef941a0/1">Jimmy C "Which bookshelf speakers would you recommend for about $150?" 12/6/02 4:07pm</a>
These look to be a great speaker for those on a low budget if they sound anything like the claims that are made. They can be purchased from me for just $82.50 each, not including shipping.
I am interested in hearing these, but I've already got speakers and don't need more. So I'm offering a service here that may be of some value to someone reading this. I will assemble these speakers for free for anyone willing to cover my costs, which are the purchase, shipment to me, shipment to you and eBay fees. I may not even recoup my costs, as I have estimated shipping, which could run higher.
I listed this proposal on eBay. You can get more information about it there. Its value is basically for someone with no skills in assembling a kit like this and wanting a decent set of speakers for very little dinero. There's nothing in it for me, except the chance to check these puppies out. The auction link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14991&item=1944345001. Of course, I cannot guarantee that these speakers will meet up to their billing. I will only guarantee a quality assembly job. |

Dec 9, 2002 5:20 AM | | The kit retails for $139, it arrived at my front door at a total of $160. Not sure if it was tax/shipping/both.
I bought them simply to have a little fun, not expecting much. They toppled my Titans for bedroom duty in a hurry. You won't be disappointed! They do like a 'lil juice... company recommends 75 horsepower per channel. I'm sure they would be fine (if not their best) with less.
Keep us posted! |

Dec 9, 2002 7:10 PM | | I saw your posting abotu you assembling the Dayton kit. Would you be willing to assemble a pair of the Ed Frias AR speaker sit that is so famous if I shipped you the parts and all that is needed and paid for shipping it bak to me completed?
I will not actually need them for 10-12 months or so, so I was just wondering as I found out that speakercity.com sells them prebuilt for $330 but Ed told me that they use an inferior crossover compared to the one he recommends from Madisound.
Thanks alot for any help you can offer.

Dec 10, 2002 4:06 AM | | I'm always curious about these products and that's a nice risk-free way for me to check them out! e-mail me at je-ski-buff@juno.com |
| Just one more thing... | jeskibuff
Dec 10, 2002 4:16 AM | | I'm not familiar with the AR kit. As long as it involves just assembly, I'm fine. If there is finishing or assembly of the cabinets required, I would say no, as I don't have the necessary woodworking equipment or skills to do a top-notch job in that department. |
