But will he only sell one speaker that is the 10million $ question

Must've been good because 30 minutes later and it's gone. -
It IS a deal, I've dealt with the seller before (NAD C320BEE), nice guy, knows his stuff.
-
Were a pair of SDA2 with a new pair of RDO polk tweeters... veneer had been stripped but complete. Mid project that he/she lost interest in. $50. Figured they would they would be a quick sell. Tweeters alone are worth more than that.

The description says "worked", not work. Maybe a typo, but could be a sneaky attempt at hiding broken speakers.
Either way, they are probably worth the price. -

Why can't people take pics that DON'T hide the item in a shadow? -

I don't believe that any of them are monitor 7. Maybe monitor 5's and 5jr's, or one of the other monitor 4 variants. -
Remember my beef with people who don't take the grills off for pictures either.
Now here's one close to me that did take the grills off. I emailed them but no response yet. I probably missed out this deal. I thought 24 hours about buying these and when I saw I had space to put them, I caved and sent an email.

Because that doesn't hide imperfections. -

Is it kosher to ask other polkies to not bid on polk speakers? -
I think it's a case of how much do you want to bid.
You've got 33 posts here. I guess you plan on staying around for a while since you asked politely. That's nice of you for sure.
Let's see if anybody else plans on biding on these. Maybe they will tell their high point if there is another. Either way, I think the census is go for them if you want them. If you ALREADY have a pair of them, then yea, let another possibly get them but then the what is that person willing to spend compared to what you're willing to spend again.Most people just listen to music and watch movies.

Thats about what I expected, I was mostly wondering if there was a rule for or aganist that sort of thing.
And no, sadly I dont already have a pair. I have a very small colection of polks -

Do you have a cable for them? If not, consider getting one and a set of RD-0194 tweets (from Polk direct) once you win in 6 days.
If you've never experienced SDA, these aren't a bad introduction.
Personally, I wouldn't drop any more than $150 on them before any upgrades. -
There are 4 tweeters...so he would need 2 pairs of R-D194's.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Hence a set, not a pair... But who's counting. -
OK...sorry. I misunderstood.

One tweeter is dimensional. Take out the fuse for and forget it. Those are expensive to recap I have a set. Descent not the best but nice to listen to. You WILL need to rework tweeter hole for RDO's to fit properly. They will squeeze the connection points into the magnet. Too much work air gap bad bad bad.

Polk Center CS350-LS, No Affil. Is this one that timbre matches well with the original monitor series, 5,7,10's? Is $140 a little steep? Thanks.
-
I believe the CS-350 is for the LS series, but I’m not sure. I don’t think there was a center for the original Monitors. Price wise, I have no idea.
-
The price is typical. Some appear cheaper but they're kind of rare. People tend to hold onto them.
Kind of a sought after center channel speaker for sure.
I'd ask for a discount though. It never hurts to ask!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Sorry meant SRS 2's and not SDA's.....
One might not get the impression that I own a pair..... But I do.
Can't see the terminal plate on the back to see if they are blade/blade or newer pin/blade interconnect plugs.
