I'd get if I already didn't have 7C's.

Classic vintage polkaudio model 7a monitor loudspeakers that sound incredible. Surrounds are high end and can never rot. Peerless drivers are original and incredible sounding. Thanks! (303) 241

    For that price are you sure you don't need backups?

    I can't use them and don't want to get them just to store.
    Let it go to someone who can use properly.

    Okay, I got them today but for less than that original price.
    It was re-listed today. :)
    He also had a pair of KLH 6 but someone grabbed them before me.

    Even though the baffle is different, they both have '7a' sticker in the back with 2 fuses and peerless tweeters.
    Few dings in the cabinets but overall sound very good.
    Now I can to compare the 7C with SL2000 against these peerless.
    Will post pics when I get them in the house.

    The Peerless sounds much better than the SL2000, much smoother, well at least to my ears.

    One has black baffle and back while the other has brown color on both baffle and back.
    Serial numbers are little different. The brown one starts with 0 while the black starts with 1 suggesting brown one is older batch.
    Vaneer is peeling in few corners.

    Haven't hooked them up yet but they sounded good at the sellers place.
