Made an interesting "Buy" today-----

Today I bought a pair of Avatar PA Speakers. I didnt know that Avatar ever made mains, but I guess they did in the beginning stages of their business. I am guessing around 2001-2003, but am not sure. These babies are built very much like their 212 cabs, only not as wide, and they are loaded w/ 15" Eminence delta LF's and Eminence horns w/ large throats(maybe 1.5" or 1.75") The guy I bought them from also put in Dayton Crossovers 3.5K. They have the same corners and handles as the Bass cabs. I test drove them thru my Yamaha EMX5000-12 and they are fabulous. Crystal clear sparkling highs, good mids, and thunder down under. The black rat fur looks new, he told me they were never gigged, and I believe it. Grills are perfect as is the rest of the "cosmetics", but really what impressed me is the sound. I really think Dave should get back in the PA speaker market. I am not sure what these speakers cost new, but I picked up the pair for $250. Score!!:hyper:
