Intersesting. Not mine nor am I looking for any. I did have a mnt pair about two years ago and got them for $375. I have seen them sell from $200 to $450 and mentioned that to the seller. He indicated people at Polk and other Polk people told him he was in the ballpark. Each to their own but $850??? Restored or not he could be sitting on these for a long time.

    Those are nice and I have to applaude him on a well written ad, but he's crazy. $400 tops, even though they might be the nicest pair going.

    Those do look great. I just missed a pair locally 2 weeks ago listed at $245. They did not last long at that price. I'll keep looking.

    They look very nice. He may get that price if he finds the right person who only wants that model of Polk and is willing to pay $850.00 . I think he'll be lucky to get $600.00.

    I sold a pair that I completely restored (better than his) for $850.00 a few years back.

    Mine are probably not as nice, but sound better than those :)

    I won't let them go for that price.

    It was my attempt at humor guys come on relax.

    In knowing that Jesse has forgotten more than i may ever know about Polk speakers and electronics I am sure they were well worth the price. Jesse also was very instrumental in helping me with my recent SDA projects and for that I thank him
