Been looking for a A6 center to go w my A7s.. and basically there is NOTHING but polk itself on amazon and ebay.

No deals at all, very disapointing. Basically unless it's a model that is sold through Newegg, forget about a good deal. You are stuck with retail, pretty much, and as much as I love Polk, I would buy nothing from them at full retail. 400 for that A6 center is kinda crazy. I got the A7 tower for that much, that's twice bigger and heavier and has twice as many speakers.

I found this.

I lot of good deals here AT FIRST SIGHT, but they get back to you at the checkout with high shipping. Still better than amazon.

If anyone knows of a good reseller of Polk and would share, - appreciated : )

    Newegg has the best deal on the monitor series. They carry the Rtia line. Should also check Vanns, Onecall, and JR. If you get a good price from one, you can call the others to see if they will beat it.

    the best I found is 300 for open box. For the cherry A6. The black one is much cheaper.. I was hoping for some superbowl deals : (

    I got great deals on all my Cherry RTis (4 X A1, 2x A7) but not a good deal on the A6. I really paid a premium for the Cherry.

    Cherry is quite a bit more, but I love the look. Try all the authorized vendors on the where to buy tab -- I called around to a few and some will drop prices if you call.
