edited January 2011 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Up for sale are my Polk Speakers. I bought them approx about 12 years ago new from Polk dealer. Think the LS/fx are newer than that but went throught so many systems back then that not sure. Have original manuals with them. No boxes. They all sound great and not a thing wrong with them. They were run with a Onkyo 939 receiver until that went a couple years ago and now were run with a Onkyo 805. 1 tweet was just replaced. And I think the 350 had a new tweeter under warranty at some time in the past. They sound great! Just got the "lets spend some money for some reason" bug and now these need a new home. They were never run hard. With young kids they were used 99% for HT. They are used and cosmetically not in perfect shape. I consider them very good though. But if seriouslly interested I will send a whole bunch of pics. The LS90's do have some broken grill pins. Worse thing about it was on 1 of them I dont think they had any until I pulled the grill for pics just now. The LS/FX are really in mint shape. The 350LS center is in pretty good shape. There is a couple marks on the grill which might come off but I dont want to mess with it and make it worse. I will throw in the Monster cable that I used with them. It was there best at that time. Not sure what guage but fronts are heavy with bananas soldered on them.
They are located in Northwest Iowa. I am really going to try to sell as a system but may be split up in a couple months if I still have them. Willing to take a drive to help deliver a little way. Actually heading up north to Minneapolis this weekend.
Thanks

    A $500obo 5.1 LS setup? .....nice, very nice. The grill pins may still be available since they are newer, call Polk CS tomorrow, easy fix and cool for the buyer anyways. It's a pretty decent series, even moreso for me than the first run of the RTi, which came later.

    The LS90 is a must have at some point for any Polkie....as much as any SDA. It's one of the best rock speakers Polk has ever made. Super solid bass, easy midrange with a soft high end, not too sharp.

    Your location says in the middle of corn... so I think he hopes that they grow corn where he lives in NJ, so he can jump on your deal! HTH.

    $500 for the entire system is a FANTASTIC price. I have owned all the speakers as I has the same system for a few years and this is a steal........great for HT and for music...good luck with the sale, these should be gone quickly........

    Screamin deal. The oak 90's would match my setup perfectly and I could move my 50's to the rear (to replace my RT600i's). Already have LSfx's on the sides. Too bad I'm way too far away. Free bump, GLWS!!

    Great deal, I've got a pair of the LS90's doing side surround duty(moved the LS50's back to do back surround duty.) The LS90's are fantastic speakers for 2 channel and_ HT. The kicker of this sale are the quality speakers you're getting with the 90's, and all of this for $500.00 OBO??? Somebody needs to jump on this.

    With the right electronics the sound of these can't be beat! If you were closer they would end up in my basement. If there are any audiophiles out there on a tight budget this IS the deal of the century!

    These are back up for sale. Zip code they are located at is 50536. I'm out in the middle of nowhere but if your close this is still a great deal. 1st buyer was too far away. 20 hour drive which I wouldnt make either. 2nd had something to do with tweets not being from year 1993/1994. I fiqured all tri dome tweeters were the same. So if you want a system priced cheap pm me. My 9 yr old sons b-day was last week and he thinks he needs them but way too young to get him hooked yet!

    Yeah, its too far for me to even think about 10+ one way.....

    GLWTS though, they look to be in very good shape. This is one set I would like to get a listen to (along with some LSi's but that might be arranged shortly)
