Hello all,
My first post in this wonderful forum!
Yesterday, I scored a set of older Polks -
A pair of RT55 (with stands), a pair of RT25, a CS350 Center along with a Velodyne CT-100 sub.
Cost me a 120 mile drive and $225 :biggrin:
All of the speakers look to be in a pretty good shape. A few scratches on the bottom of the RT25s. The guy said they had been in his closet since 2005.

Pretty excited about them.
I plan to hook them up to, either an Onkyo 709 or a Sherwood R-972, replacing my existing Sony SS-F6000 mains and AR satellites.
At some point, I would like towers for the front, and then use RT55s for surround, and the RT25 for either Surround Backs or Front Heights or Wide.

Any thoughts on my purchase, and or suggestions?

Thanks!

    Thanks DSkip and goofyGAguy!

    I can't wait to hook these up!
    Will decide if I want to add or change anything, only after to listening/enjoying these for a while.

    Anything in particular I should look out for in these speakers, considering the age?
    I am also curious about the differences between what I bought, and the ones with the 'i' suffix (RT55i, RT35i etc)

    the drivers are blue on the I's. I don't know if there are any functional differences. Sorry if that wasn't helpful but at least it's a bump.
