    Are they the pair of non-XLs that Jake was selling? They don't match the wallpaper.

    The horns are a bit of a shock to be Honest. Particularly the bass and sheer speed/ snap.

    Need spikes etc as blue tacking them to two chopping boards has killed their verve a bit, oddly.

    A very enthusiastic speaker that seems a massive bargain on first impressions. Looking forward to pimping them.
