    I got them back from paint today but I drove the Camaro to work and I wasn't about to try and put them in it, I will bring them home tomorrow and take some pics, they look really good. more then likely I will give these speakers to my son out in NY somewhere down the line..

    Not to sure about the whole selling these stands..Shipping would suck and to get them down to a cost that would make sense there would have to be maybe 15 to 20 people wanting them at one time for me to run these through the shop.. and I would have to have everyone paid before hand... I will think about it if there is enough intrest, Not making any promises...

    Larry, I want you to know something. I have a pair of CRS+'s that I am getting ready to do a complete overhaul on, and intend to turn them into the uber pair of 4.1 TL's. Sonicaps, Mills, RD-0198's, your rings, Tony's boards, dynamat, mortite, jb weld, wood veneer. Everything. And these are meant to be my "forever speakers" for when the Mrs. and I downsize our living quarters.

    And now, I'll be tormented forever, knowing that I really don't have the ultimate 4.1 TL's. Because the ultimate 4.1 TL's would be sitting on those stands. If I don't get a pair of those stands, I'm going to be tormented by this for the rest of my audio listening days.

    You don't really want this on your conscience, do you??? :tongue:

    Even without the logo, those are excellent. With the logo, I might lose a few WAF points but I love them even more. If these ever go into Low-Rate Initial Production I'll take a set...
    Current polk speakers:
    Family room 5.1: TC265i R/L, VM10 Center, RC65i surrounds (couldn't match the TCs)
    Basement non-dedicated 7.1 HT: SDA-CRS+ R/L, 255c-LS Center, LSiFX surrounds, RC80i in-ceiling rear surround, plus Wharfedale 12" sub (some day I'll get around to building 15" F-20 sub).

    Larry,

    I don't own a pair of CRS - yet. But I would buy a pair of your stands in anticipation of acquiring some CRS+s. Those are freakin' awesome!

    That's what I did with his 1.2TL xo plates. I don't have the speakers, but I have some rockin' xo plates for them!

    Ok, so seriously, Larry.... What would it take to get you interested in doing a run of these? How many orders would you need to have in order to make it worth your time?
