I'm pretty excited at the moment. As some of you may remember when my wife and I bought our house we had a specific requirement for a room large enough to host a band and spectators. We've got a good 24x30 family room in the lower level that suits this purpose. I've used varying PA options in there but just got a deal I couldn't refuse for some speakers that will become a permanent fixture in there.
A local recording company went out of business recently and has been cleaning out their studio, selling off most of their stuff. We picked up a lot of stuff for our production company's studio. While there we noticed a pair of Urei 813A's mounted high up in the wall of one of the control rooms. We asked about them and were told basically if we could get them down they'd be ours (i.e. sweat equity = free). So as of last night I'm now the proud owner of a pair of Urei's. Damn the suckers are big (bigger than my old JBL 18") and I do have to get the foam surrounds replaced on the sub-low 15, but I'm really looking forward to getting these things installed in our family room. They should be the perfect speakers for our purposes. Back in their day, these things were the most ultra accurate studio monitors you could buy, I can't believe I actually have a set now.
