Hi guys,

RT55's in Atlanta area. 8/10, grilles are perfect. A little 'rash' one sides and bottom. Original box. $200 plus shipping. I'll eat PayPal fees, per their user agreement.

Out of respect for Polk's bandwidth, pix on request to interested parties. Please respond via PM so I can keep everyone in 'dibs' order.

I'm cleaning out my collection of Polk speakers, so look for other ads here.

    Here are some pix. I have more if you are interested.

    Grilles are in good shape, all pins intact. Sonically 100%. Nice pair of speakers. I have three pairs - would sell two pairs.

    Let's try $175 plus shipping from zip 30092. Last two pairs sold on eBay were $225 plus shipping.

    Sorry, not selling the RT5000 gear. I've got a bunch of Polk speakers that were part of the 'upgrade-itis' pathway for sale. Sorry my ad was confusing.

    Guess I should have mentioned that I have an original box, that both speakers go in, so shipping costs are a lot less than the normal 2 boxes.

    quick question
    Why do some have blue woofer and some grey did they just go to another manufacture or was there something else. Just curious is all. I noticed the same thing on the LSi's

    RT55's have the grey woofer, 55i's have the blue newer one.

    I love the RT55's; tried many speakers in its class and can say I have gotten rid of all of them. No matter how hard I try to replace them, they just stay. Been trying to get a back up pair locally but they don't come up very often and shipping kills a good deal.

    Let's try $225 shipped in CONUS, I'll eat the PP fees.

    If this doesn't work they'll go in the garage or workshop systems.
