    I would ship the CS350 to one of you guys if he won't -- at my cost, of course. (Hopefully to someone who had an immediate use rather than hoarding it.)
    I'm frequently several miles from there with clients. Also <1 mile from a UPS regional customer center and <1 mile from a drugstore FedEx office.
    Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

    Polk - Monitor 10As, SDA 2Bs, LSi9s, White RTi4s, S4s, M3s, various centers.
    Boston - CR7, CR6s, CR4s.
    Subs - M&K V4, M&K VX-7B, JBL SUB150P, Jamo Sub 250, and others.

    Those are actually M5A's with the 8"PR. Check the PR's for cracking / splits. The rubber looks a little warped in spots so I may have gotten hard and cracked.

    There appears to be mortite, so I think they have been opened. The tweeters do not have the "polk" hole that I could see, so I wonder if they have been replaced. I forget now if polk did use some without the hole. I remember a discussion on this a while back, but I think that was on the very early models. They at least appear to be actual peerless tweeters, not copies. One appears to have been slightly dented at one time.

    They should still sound great. The PR is the biggest concern.

    That's only the asking price, not the selling price. It's yet to be determined. B)
    Yes, basically Monitor 60s, but better with real wood veneer... I hear...

    I looked at my for sale thread from March 2014 which has some photos. I had mentioned in that thread that I understood the difference between the t90e and the Monitor 60 was the euro version had real wood veneer (because Euros wouldn’t buy a speaker that had vinyl) but I can’t tell from the photos. Sonically identical to Monitor 60.
