Looks like the guy bought great speakers, and then got married. I have a great set of Boston Acoustic A-150's in my basement that I just can't part with, but they are just too big.

That is exactly what happened. The guy's wife told him they had to go! The mid range speakers and tweeters are amazing. The sound comes out from both the front and the back. The speakers are about 5 feet tall. I originally bought them to resell, but the sound is so amazing that after hearing them MY wife was actually looking for a place in the "multi-media" room to locate them.
+1 on needing power to make the sound really come out. If I turn down the volume, it really loses some of the fidelity. I have an album that I like to use to "test" speakers and other sound equipment. It's the Crudaders Scratch album. It's a live album with lots of great sax and guitar. You can hear individuals speaking and clapping very clearly with these speakers.
I don't know why the guy let them go for $75. We were just driving through this neighborhood and we came across his yard sale. I saw the speakers and thought that was an unbelievable price. But the foam surrounds were shot, so we actually left them there and went to run some errands! Then I thought, those speakers may be worth a lot of money. I couldn't find them on eBay, but I saw that someone had sold a pair on Audiogon, w/o the grills, for $1,600! So we drove back and they were still there.
