I found a pair for 225 locally, I was thinking about picking them up but I'm not sure of what they're worth.

Here is the ad description.

Vintage Polk CRS (Compact Reference System) SDA Speakers
- Classic Polk Stereo Dimension Array speakers
- Working prefectly and sounding fantastic
- Excellent condition - see pictures
- Includes original speaker stands
- Includes SDA cable
- Also includes copy of owners manual

The pictures look great.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    Much less than I paid for mine and I didn't get the original stands either.

    I figured I can pick these up and if CRS+'s come up i can sell these off or gift them to someone.

    I agree with Larry.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    They look great. I almost bought them but held out for the CRS+'s and when I found mine, the mods had all been done with a touch of overkill, and the stands that came along with them originally sold for 600 alone, so the deals are out there. I love mine!!
