These are outstanding speakers and very few used ones come to market for resale. None in near mint condition as these. Still in original box and includes gold plated speaker wire. Also includes two spare mid speakers and one spare tweeter! But I assume they work well as they were never used. I took a variety of pictures (some with flash and some without) so you can get a sense of the cherry color. As you can see there are no scratches on them plus they sound great. Listening to them as I write this. With the spare mids and tweeter you should be able to enjoy these speakers for a long time. Details & Specs (from review website).
