No other information - just "big". They're on Freecycle, where that amount of information is a bonus - I've seen people offer "Items". 
I'd like to have a pair of reasonably good speakers for upstairs in my house, so I have some music up there.
Anyway, I did a quick google on DBX speakers and they seem well-regarded in general (audiophiles were complaining about certain things, but I'm no audiophile).
Advice? I don't need to end up with a couple of boat anchors...

Pick them up,
If you don't like them I'd be glad to take them off your hands

I found out the hard way, trying to resell speakers for a profit is impossible, unless they are vintage. But... if they are free and you need a pair of speakers, jump on them. Chances are they are from the 70-80s, and to me, a lot of those sound better than the crap on the market today.

Yeah, I want them to listen to. I'll only try to sell them if they're PA speakers or something, and then not for much, basically just to get them out.
Zebu, I'll take your post as a 'yes' too...

Oh well, I never heard back from the speaker people. Can't win 'em all.
I'm thinking about figuring out some kind of automated way to search local craigslists every 12 hours and email me if it spots "Cerwin Vega" for less than 25 bucks.
