That's what I paid for the 5's not long ago from Guitar Center.
This is a good price, and you get entered in to win a Jeep or something. Do I sound like a commercial?
I've been lookin' for a low-end set of near-fields for a while now.. I didn't really want to pay $500+ for monitors, and I was actually considering paying a little under $300 for the 5B's... so getting the 8B's for 300 is a steal!!.. whoo hooo..!!
I just snagged me a pair.
WATYF
(and think.. if I don't like em.. I can just turn right around and sell 'em on eBay for more than I paid for 'em... )
