Found this on craigslist in the Portland, Oregon area http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/3698457253.html. As you can see from the ad they are still in original boxes and have been in storage. Any opinion on what they are worth?

    I don't know, for never being used the box looks pretty beat up. Guess that could be from moving around tho.
    Make me an offer, no low ballers.

    How can someone low ball when there is no price???

    Wow! Amazing find there! They are smaller than the 2.3TL's you sold me Bill. They sound as nice as the 2.3TL's from a fidelity point of view assuming you put the same caps/resistors in them, but they aren't as "full" sounding as the 2.3TL's. Were you planning on using these Bill?

    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.....

    Wonder why he never used them? What times capsules those are? Talk about unmolested. Someone is sure going to be happy with these speakers.

    Sorry you didn't get these, I'd say the seller and the new owner both came out pretty good.
