I might be mistaken but to me it appears to be a Kenwood Super Eleven.

Yup.
Original owner Polk speakers generally are in great condition and I'd pay a bit more knowing that.
The original or inherited speakers I've bought have been great buys.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Laughing..... one of the few places I'd like to retire in. Laughing or Bullhead City! -
I paid significantly more than that for mine as the good stuff isn't normally found cheap. They also ended up being economical in the long run as they've stopped the speaker go round here since 2011.
