[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 35091, member: 153"] Re: Is it a good deal? Macpherson M2X pairs in cases Hello, You'd need a small amplifier, (there are battery operated units available, and kit models that can be built). Check MCM electronics, Parts Express, Markertex, etc... A small signal generator such as the units made/marketed by Neutrix (Minirator). Tascam and other companies used to make signal sweep generators, Roland, Whirlwind. John Roberts (this site's J.R.) used to sell all types of Audio related kits, I think he sold a Signal Generator kit...? These small signal generators have differing features depending on makes & models, but, their sole purpose is to give an output signal that is used for reference. The signal generator's output goes to the input of the Amplifier and from the Amplifer's output to the Speaker Box input. Then, depending on the generator's features, a user could send a sweep signal (sweeps through the Audio Spectrum) or single sine waves of some value. (100Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz). Using this method of testing a Speaker Box, a user "can" determine if a specific driver is not operating properly or if there are problems with a crossover. But, I don't think you'll have enough time to get everything together if you don't already have the gear. When at the sale, ask the employees at the A/V Company if they are properly working boxes. Buying anything used is always a gamble, Some deals are GREAT deals, some are just sales. If these boxes are not beat-up and in working order, it's probably a good deal. Good Luck, Hammer Hammer [/QUOTE]
