    Not studio's, the top and bottom caps have been painted black. Look like they have RDO194's in them.


    These are Studio 1C's

    Boston- I think I see what you mean. There doesn't appear to be a trim piece at the bottom like the studios I have. Did Polk make a regular 1C with black vinyl or veneer?

    If those are in as good condition as they appear to be, they are a great speaker for the price, even without the interconnect. After all, whoever gets them will want to start down the upgrade path, including a Dreadnought! :)

    Maybe this pic won't die. The speakers you show aren't studios...

    This is a pic of 1C studios.

    Are these the same ones that were listed in April in Denver/Brighton?
    I offered little less than asking price but he sold it to someone else.

    May be the new buyer is selling them off now.

    I thought so.
    I was interested in April but no more.
    I'd love to listen big Polks though, just can't bring them home. ;)

    How is Polk RT3000 system for $900? Overpriced?

    http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/4778227506.html

    This system includes 2 Polk RT3000p front speakers (in Rosewood finish) including their dual 8" driver, 300-watt subs for each speaker, and 2 Polk LS/fx dipole/bipole surround speakers (black). These speakers are from when speaker manufacturers were building speakers for high-fidelity performance rather than appearance. The center speaker, a Polk CS400, was sold previously.

    Not bad but if your losses to Chicago is buy @newrival‌
    System so you get backup amps and its a slightly better system iirc
