Rob,
I felt the same about spending $100 for one the Ten Tec speakers but I
received one as part of an used equipment package and it sounds GREAT!
I have some other YeaComWood speakers that cost much more and do NOT
sound as good. The fit and finish of the Ten Tec speaker cabinets is
simple but nice. I believe you could be happy with one of the Ten Tec
speakers in your shack.
