Turbo Sound Speakers?

[JTRS]

I've been offered a pair of Turbo Sound TXD 151 speakers at a bargain price, they are coming out of a fixed install and apparently have had minimal use.

I've no experience of them and won't have chance to hear them in situ (listening to speakers in a garage/front room is never the same), so I was wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to say about them. For the asking price they would be a bargain as second back-up's

They are nice sounding 15" + 1" CD full range boxes, they do 70deg(H) and ~123dB/1m. Turbosound are a highly respected pro audio manufacturer up there with the best.

Out of interest, if these will become your backup cabs, what's your main foh?

Yep really good cabs. Used an pair only a couple of weeks ago.

Currently I use a pair of RCF's, my backup speakers are a pair of Idex speakers (these were my first speakers when I set-up last year, but as the money has come in it's been re-invested in better equipment, so my back-up system is practically everything I started up with).

I only said that I was thinking about the Turbo Sound as a back-up to the backup because I didn't know how good/bad they were, having read what you have said then I'm now thinking that they would be better for my first back-up (I never intended having a back-up to my back-up but the price was too good to refuse).
