These Boston Acoustics A70 Series II speakers were purchased new by the seller. They have been looked after carefully and are in very good condition; the only issue is that the foam surrounds for the woofers have deteriorated and must be replaced (cost for new surrounds has been factored into the selling price). They will be shipped in original packaging with some added support. Note that they will be shipped as two separate packages. Note that the $99 shipping charge is a worst case cost and a refund will be issued if the actual cost is lower.
