Anybody Want A Spendor Center Channel Speaker Free?

After setting up all of my audio equipment in the new house, I have a Spendor C5e Center Channel speaker in cherry wood that I no longer can use. I was going to donate it to the local Boys and Girls Club thrift store, but knowing how many audiophiles belong to TRF, I thought I'd see if anyone here could use it in their system, free of charge, except for the actual cost of shipping.

I have received so much great advice and even help recovering stolen watches from TRF members. I'd like to see someone from our community put this in their system if it fits sonically. I will give it to the first person who sends me a private message stating that he/she wants it. You would have to pay the shipping charge. If no one wants it, I will donate it. The specs on the speaker are here. The original cost was about $1,200 USD. If you are familiar with the Spendor brand, you know that it is famous for the beautiful BBC sound.

Man, I'd take it but then I'd just have to buy the right and left channel speakers to go with it.

I've put a smart TV in your room with Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Pandora and iHeart radio. Hopefully that will keep you occupied when the temps drop to -45 degrees F below zero.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've received PMs from interested parties, and unless someone backs out, it's claimed.

The speaker is on the way to its new owner. I'm so glad someone who appreciates fine British speakers is getting it.
