Hawthorne Audio Sterling Silver Iris Drivers X 3

Here is Hawthorne Audio's description of these drivers:

You will find this driver package ideal for use as a full range OB specific driver of noteworthy performance. Every effort has been made to ensure stellar performance and minimal compromise. The frequency response, while room specific, does fully cover the range required for nearly all of your musical needs without creating a demand for large baffles or EQ. We provide with each Sterling coaxial unit the Radian compression tweeter.

I bought these used in 2015 or 2016, and had the idea of making a home theater system with them. Plans changed, so these are up for sale. They are in very good condition. The only flaws are in the cardboard surrounds on the rear of the drivers where the screws go thru. Completely irrelevant to the sound or the appearance.

Buyer pays shipping, I pay PayPal. NO TRADES - I'm selling these because I have too much audio gear, too many ideas and too little time.

Duh...sorry. $975 + shipping. I pay PayPal. They were $710 apiece with crossovers, so I think that $325 apiece w/o crossovers is a screaming deal.
