I love my Polks but If I had a few extra bucks right now, they would be in the fleamarket for these. I hope somebody here pulls the trigger on them.

    Always East of the Mississippi for those, and half the going rate to boot! I've been wanting to get a pair of these for sometime. I make do with RS 2.5's and QLS-1's, but my Infinity Holy Grails of course are IRS / V, but a pair of IRS Beta's would be a good compromise.

    BTW, thanks for the heads up as you now have me looking into a Craters & Freighters quote!

    Regards,
    Mike

    I saw these when on the gon last night. was amazed at how much speaker you get for the money. would just be the biggest pain setting up as it seems like you need a ton of room to do it right and to transport them.

    they have only been viewed 2200 times in a day. They will not last long, if they aren't sold as I type this. Has anyone here made an offer on them?
