    Beautiful Speakers!
    Mine are black with Peerless. Originally SL-1000s but the Peerless make them shine.
    I've seriously thought about veneering mine.
    Good Luck with the sale.
    CHEAP...Killer Price in a beautiful veneer.

    Ditto! Something about the tweeter and crossover being so accessible really appeals to me. Great price!

    Those are sweet & you're right, real oak is quite rare on 12B's or C's. By the way, do you know if yours are B's or C's? Not crucial, but some might find it helpful. Price is good as well.

    Good luck with your sale.

    Those are late 12Cs from late 85-87 and the oak became the norm by 86 as was walnut. I do not think they even used vinyl after 1985 for the RTA12s

    I can't understand how you still have these at that price..We rarely ever see any of the great vintage Polk Audio speakers pop up in the South East..Isn't there a trustworthy shipping company somewhere in your area?

    Shipping would probably be more than the cost of the speakers........

    I was curious if you have sold them yet? and if given enough incentive maybe pay a little more for them and send the total of shipping costs if you would consider.
