edited February 2017 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I just got these with the intention of using them in the guest bedroom rig. However, the room is audio hell and unfortunately for me these are not going to work out.

These are 7B's with Peerless tweeters. The cabinets are walnut vinyl with a few nicks on the back edges, nothing bad. There are no scratches and the grills are perfect. Overall, they look very nice. The cabinets, drivers and grills have been cleaned. The Polk Audio badges have been polished. The magnets have been secured with Power Grab. The chassis wire has been upgraded from tinned 20 gauge to 16 gauge copper. I used gold plated copper Fastons instead of soldering the leads. The crossovers are stock. Larry's rings are on the way. All connections, binding posts, fuses and fuse holders have been treated with Pro Gold.

These come with one extra of the following. Peerless tweeter, MW6500, 10" PR and grill. There are a pair of stands, but they are not original, are really too short and they aren't in the best condition.

Price: $175.00
Payment: PayPal, cash or check if I know you.
Pickup only. I'm in the Baltimore-Washington DC, N. Virginia area.


Hmmmm.....the pics didn't load in the main body, so click on the little pics below.

    With the spares someone is going to get a great pair of speakers at this price. Good luck with your sale Jesse.

    Look really nice, every Polkie needs to own some 7's.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.
