Hey guys, been a while since I've been around. Lots of life has been happening. haha

Anyway, I've downsized and simplified, and I'm now on bookshelves and don't have the room for these incredible speakers.

I will update the thread with pics, but they're in great shape. No snags, runs, dents, etc. They're super efficient, and INCREDIBLY dynamic. Open baffle and just super natural. I've never owned a better speaker at sounding like a live event. Just stunningly spacious from open baffle design and point source high end. Comes with the Behringer crossover and for the asking price of $1050 I will include $500 in MIT interconnects for the crossover. For an additional $50 I will include an upgraded Pangea AC-9 power cable for the crossover.

Again, I will try to get some pics up soon. Let me know of any interest.

For those not familiar with me here, I have a a history of dozens of successful transactions here, polk and otherwise. I go out of my way to make sure a buyer is happy. I have a 100% positive rating on ebay, audiogon, AVS, etc.

Thanks for looking.

I also have a few for items for sale, like an Empire Troubadour 598 with walnut plinth and cover, with original booklet, a manual, tools, downforce scale, and an original NOS flat Empire platter band. working cue light, arm lift, etc. $475 Polkie special

NHT SW-2 10" subwoofer and MA-1 sub amp with upgraded cables. great little musical sub. Especially considering I'd take only $125 for it

Have a great day

    thanks, guys! It's been a whirlwind the last two years. Finally settling down and listening habits have changed, as well as my listening space, so time to pass along some great gear. I know a few polkies have had their ears on the system and really enjoyed it.

    @Toolfan66 I definitely will ship. I have all the original shipping materials and will add extra bolstering to ensure their safety. Let me know if you're interested and I can pull a quote together for you. There is also the possibility of me hand delivering them based on your location, as I do do some travel for work.

    Hey, guys, in the spirit of the holidays, and in the spirit of clearing some floor space, I'm going to offer a discount on the emerald physics. The first $800 takes them.

    I will deliver within 100 miles or so.

    Oh Man, where's money for 2 ch gear when you need it? I'm actually driving distance away. I was blown away by the CS3 demo system at AXPONA back in 2014. I'm a fan of the idea of DSP assistance in taking some of the room out of play. Especially in a case like mine where I'm trying to convince the Mrs. to OK a second 2 channel system in the living room. No way in hell is she going for room treatments and such in there!

    If I could I would be all over these. Right now I'm considering some cheaper Usher 6311's for that space.

    The Polkie I was holding these for is not available to purchase the Emerald Physics, so consider these back on the auction block. So to speak. :)

    I will be putting these up on Craigslist now, too.

    I'm quite surprised no one is picking these up at this price. I suppose many people just haven't heard, first hand, what they are capable of.

    still available. $800 and I will travel a reasonable distance. For $900 I will throw in every upgraded cable you will need, including two pairs of MIT speaker cables. A $1000 value

    You cannot buy them because you have made no contribution as of yet, you need 1000 posts to be in line sir!

    I would be very interested to see what shipping would be on these as open baffle speakers are on my audio bucket list.
