Why wouldn't it be a real listing, because of the price?
I bought this same model around 5 years ago in Vegas for 150 dollars.
Yes, and because of the increasing fraud/scams.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

Early 7Bs, Nassau, NY, $200
These should be silver basket drivers so they both have been replaced by someone and are different mfg. dates. One has the tinsel leads under the dust cap like my late mfg. date NOS driver I have. Seller has glued the magnets and dynamatted passive.

Pair of uncommon Monitor 11s in a consignment center in Galena, IL. Seller doesn't know what model they are apparently ("darker wood speakers" lol). Glorified Monitor 10s with better bass. $200 obo.

I'm glad those are 3.1's, I have a set, and not the 2.3? or the 1.2's. I'm about hour away.HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.

@xjghost what ones do you think are the better speaker? 3.1's , 2.3's or the 1.2's.

I’m not sure. I only own a set of 3.1’s and love them. I remember when I bought my 10’s they had the whole Polk line. I think I listened to a set of 1.2’s but that was late 80’s early 90’s. So might not have been. When were the SDA’s made?@xjghost what ones do you think are the better speaker? 3.1's , 2.3's or the 1.2's.

80's 90's far as I know. Other more knowledgeable Polki Mons make know for sure. Just wondering what most say about the bigger SDA line sound wise.

I've noticed several LSi series speakers for sale in the past year. Seriously, a lot of them. The prices have been great too.
I heard a pr. of these LSi-9s at a stereo audio store and liked them a lot. But they were $$$$. Sales hadn't happened because they were so new. I think they were 750.00 each.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
