Pay attention to the loudspeakers surround, this material could be kaput. Don't care about the ugly cracked colour of the box. This usually is cracked, but the loudspeakers anyway can be perfect. I'm born and living in the Federal Republic of Germany, in the Ruhrgebiet. Berlin is the perfect city to get this speakers from the German Democratic Republic. Those speakers aren't real studio monitors, but it's said that RTF B 3010 HIFI are the best "bookshelf speakers" that were ever made on this planet and I'm sure there are a lot of expensive near field studio monitors that are less good. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
