These speakers are in good condition and work great! They can be as loud as you want them to be. One has minor scratches. Selling because I am getting too old to lug them around anymore. I am the original owner and have never had any problems with them. I plugged through a QSC Touchmix 16 channel digital board (also selling in different listing) and they sounded great! Going to miss these but my back won't! The stands are only a year old. I will box them when sending. Just set the speaker on it and push the button, they will rise until you let go of the button.
