2 stand up cabinets. black. with dual 10" subs each, 4" midrange and horn tweeters. absolute best tower speakers i've ever owned. no longer available. paid $625 each.
yes your standard receiver will work... i have them currently hooked up to an onkyo 545 something. it's been awhile so i'm not even sure of the receivers rating but i know it's nothing outrageous. i paid $575 for the receiver which i'm also selling for $250.
god help you if your running a separate amp as i can only imagine. the speakers do not have alot of use on them at all as they are practically brand new which is why i'm selling them. they are very nice but i never have had a use for something like this. more of an impulse buy at the time.
I will have to get back to you. I am interested, but just found out the wife is getting let go at the end of this week...DOH!! So any purchases, may have to wait a bit.
