    The seller contacted me earlier today to see if I still had interest in the speakers. I had to pass on them. I have 3 children and exposed tweeters and dust covers are too tempting for little fingers. The grills on this model are extremely difficult to find for sale regardless of condition.

    That's what stun guns are for ...

    After 28 yrs working in the mailroom i have perfected the art of rubber band shooting. The newbies come in start their stuff the others step aside. I can drill them with authority at 30' they hate me for it. But they learn quick not to shoot me in their reindeer games. Nothing like leaving little red race track welts on them.

    SRS 1.2 with boxes about an hour north of Baltimore for $1895 obo. If it's the seller i think it is, he's a good dude. But I'm not certain its him.

    Yea, i just spoke with who i thought the seller was and its not him so proceed with caution i guess. It would be cool to have a set that has never been used...if what the seller states is true.

    If they were in those boxes when crushed, magnet shifts are possible.

    Seller writes like a grouch but seemed nice in person when I bought from him a couple of years ago.

    Old pair of Model 10's /Monitor 10's in Bartlett IL 60103, with original stands, $40.

    Cabinets look decent; missing a grill logo.

    https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/ele/d/polk-audio-10-speakers/6273319999.html

    Already over my limit on speakers owned/not in use, so they're not for me.

    There's a limit? Now you tell me. :o

    Yeah, your sig shows you may be a pair or 12 ahead of me. I've got a smallish house, currently have 2 pairs of CRS variants, a pair of modded RTA11TL, a pair of 5jr+ , plus a wife with a cold, cold stare....

    Bet they have peerless tweeters and cardboard surround gaskets as there is no binding post cup. Would those be mw6500 drivers?

    Ad for the old 10's is still up, but the speakers are gone--I caved and texted him. Probably for the best that they were sold already.

    I hear you. It was undeniably a good deal. But here I sit with a) no place to use them in a system, and b) no room to store them.

    So if I got 'em, it would be to put my ears on them, play with them for a short while, and then either pass them on to a friend or to a fellow local Polkie (I'm looking at you Dan). So in this particular case, I'm ok with missing out. But "snooze/lose" is a definite truism for bargains on CL!!
