Does anyone have any information on these speakers? I found a pair on Craigslist for $75 and am trying to figure out if it's a good deal or not. Retail price was $600/pair.

Reviews don't seem to be too bad: http://www.audioreview.com/cat/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/polk-audio/s10/PRD_121051_1594crx.aspx#review0

I'm familiar with most Polk speakers but have never heard of this series. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    are you referring the ones in Austin? they were 125 a week or so ago and I noticed they had dropped to $75 this week... I think someone said they were pretty decent..

    Thanks for the link. The specs on these seem pretty good.

    The ad I saw was in St Louis, coolsax.

    I found a professional review for the S6's in the Chicago Tribune circa 1992, which was extremely positive. I would like to hear from S Series owners before I make a decision, though.

    Thanks again!
