More pix can be seen online @ Picasa by clicking here.

Asking $175 + shipping, will gladly split any Paypal fee. PM me any reasonable offers as I have no idea what CSi40's have been selling for lately... Also note that this will also be listed on ebay, but will gladly give first consideration to a Polk forum member...

Details:
I am the second owner, bought just over a year ago or so. I've only hooked it up once to verify operation (worked just fine), then put in the closet wrapped in a towel. I used some furniture polish on it this week (applied to towel first) to polish it up before taking the pix. One of the pix shows that I'm a better music lover than house cleaner...

Overall the cabinet is in very good condition, but will rate it 8/10 on the Audiogon scale due to a few surface scratches that do not penetrate the veneer. More like lines of indentations, if that makes sense. You need to be within a few feet to see them if you know where to look.

The grille is in 9/10 condition - no broken pegs, no fabric pulls, no broken ribs. Essentially some dust is the only imperfection on it. Factory brass jumpers are included. Original shipping box was not included when I purchased it, but I still have the large shipping box sent to me with the custom-type expanded foam inserts, so shipping should be safely done.

I prefer to ship FedEx Ground w/ full insurance and signature required...

FWIW, I have 100% +FB on Ebay, AVS Forums, Audiogon, Videogon, etc.

Again, more pix can be seen online by clicking here.

    Forgot to mention - not interested in any trades as I have even more extra gear and cables that need to be sold...

    Agree, I love the other '40 in our main system - it's been nothing short of impressive. It's a tough decision to sell this second '40, but it's getting zero use now, so it's time to let her go...

    If it's any consolation, I occasionally get "the look" from my fiancee with the stack of unused gear in a room downstairs - two Yamaha DVD-S2300's, Toshiba HD-A35 & HD-A20, Panamax M5300...oy... :o

    I'll measure the box when I get home tonight and reply w/ shipping costs to your ZIP. Note that I highly prefer to include "signature required" service for obvious reasons, but if that's a problem for you I'll not include that.

    $44 flat, includes $500 insurance*, and signature req'd (automatically included with $500 ins.).

    * funny - if I insure for only $200 with no signature req'd, the rate is barely a buck cheaper... :rolleyes:

    BTW, I added pix of the shipping box to the Picasa account - click here for them. I'll also wrap and seal the speaker in a plastic bag, before placing in the big shipping box (approx 30x16x18). The internal foam cores may look a bit goofy, but they protected the speaker perfectly when it was shipped to me...

    Well, it helps to have a spare one... :o

    Off-topic question: Why does my listing not have the "For Sale" logo beside the thread title? Was there a checkbox somewhere that I forgot to click when I initially created the listing?

    I'll gladly drop shipping to $39 flat, and I'll cover the rest. The original $44 was the quote I got online using my FedEx acct #, so it's discounted already. I'll even cover the Paypal fees to help convince you that you really, really, REALLY should buy this from me... :D

    I'm okay with a few less $$ if I know someone will really appreciate this speaker...and will take good care of it in case I beg to buy it back in a few months! :p

    Well, the "For Sale" icon is there now, but I wasn't seeing it before...weird!

    UPDATE: Sold elsewhere, sorry this did not go to a Forum member...

    If I sell our other CSi40 (which is in near-mint, 9/10 condition), I'll post it up here first.
