john harner New member Username: Deadcrowsflywest Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-07	Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 23:13 GMT trying to put together a home theater system w/ limited funds. Let me say i know little aboit speakers and stereo stuff.. I came across a pair of huge floor speakers that looked new at a tag sale. I paid 30 bux for the pair..They're made by Advent and and say Maestro on the back Could somebody give me the low down on the quality of these? They looked pretty substantial that's why i bought them
