    Just to expand a bit on my previous brief comment: the 3.1TL model has been my grail for years since I joined Club Polk. My expectation is that they will be the last pair of fronts I will ever want. Once I have integrated them into my system I will be putting some other vintage Polks up for sale to recoup some of the cost.

    Congrats! Where are you located and what might you be getting rid of? I'd like to get a pair of 7's some day. Never seem to find any around me. I'm in South Carolina by the way.

    I will definitely sell the SDA 1Bs and possibly a pair of Monitor 10s. From Albuquerque.

    CS350LS in Wilmington, NC $200.00 Isn't that the one suggested to use as a center for my 3.1's?

    http://wilmington.craigslist.org/ele/5163662525.html

    I'd like to get that but that is about 2 hours from me. Is that a good price? I think so. Looks like another pair of polk's in the back ground. I'll be emailing that guy.

    As much as I love mine $200 is way high. I see them all the time for +/- $100

    Thanks! I have to remember the 2 Centers I have now I only paid $50 and $60 for IIRC. IDK which ones they are and they are not as nice looking as that one either. Still I like the looks of that one. I'll have to try and remember it.

    Looks like the tweeters, top one on each speaker has been replaced. From the looks of the surroundings he may be strapped for cash. He did not have them inside the house they were probably in the garage reason be brought them out for pictures. I would offer him $975, with a mandatory test audition.

    Oh yeah, $1500. is a very "hopeful" amount on the sellers part, I would offer $900. if they were close enough for an audition, no more than the $1000. total.

    I messaged him about the difference in the tweeters and he responded:

    Don't know this is how I bought them. I believe tweeters are the same except a couple tweeters have black coating that is gone.

    I'm just guessing as the buyer was from springs.
    If these are indeed mine, the buyer upgraded tweeters and crossovers.
    Mine had gold tweeters.
    He didn't take diy ic cable so the one he's selling also must be another diy.
    They need a lot of space to sound good and lack of that is why I sold them.
    Check my old thread for more information.
    There were some cosmetic issues.

    SDA CRS not sure if B/B or P/B, I'm guessing B/B considering where the SDA cable outlet is, if so then it's a question if these are single tweeter or double, but they do come with the stands...
