TSi500 (pair) & CS20 for sale

Theheadsn

I'm posting to see the interestin these. I really want to upgrade to the RTiA line, but only if I can offload my current system. I've had these for about 2 years now, and haven't had any problems with them at all. Still in great shape, no scratches or marks. Been around a smoke-free and kid-less environment, in my home theater.

Not really sure on a price, so feel free to shoot me a number and we can haggle it out. Not looking to get NEW prices on these things, but as we all know the prices don't drop to much. Will consider a decent Polk Buddy Discount though

I'm located in Northern Orange County, CA. I'd be willing to drive to drop them off, or meet up if you are of some distance away. If it requires that I ship these, you would be responsible for shipping costs. But I would do everything in my power to make sure these get sent the correct way.

Feel free to ask any questions, and hope these can find a good home

No interest here but nice looking room...

Flea market rules require an asking price - you'll probably get more interest too.

Your right, I've been lagging on posting a price. Lets do this, if people think its crazy to high or low (to low? lol) I'll change it accordingly.

$750.00 for the pair of Polk Tsi 500's
$275.00 for the single Polk CS20 Center

Let me know if you or someone you know is interested, these are great speakers to break into the HT game

Here's one way of looking at it. What is Polk Ebay charging for those?

P-ebay is selling Rti-8s at 399 a pair (the entry Rti tower but comparable in price to the TOTL TSI 500)

The CSi-5 (better center than the CS20) is selling for 225.

I'd say you should consider those prices your ceiling? Because Polkies are in the know. Now if you were selling on Craigslist? You might be able to go "higher"?

GLWTS! Also, if you really want to be WOWED. Make sure you buy the TOTL RTI towers, either the 12s or the A9s. Although the 10s and A7s are better than the TSI-500s. You'll tire of them and you'll kick yourself for not going with the "best"!

Thats why I wasnt sure WHAT to post them at. And with sales always popping up here and there, you can always get a good deal if you know where to look. Im willing to work on the price for sure, especially if someone on here wants to buy.
As far as "ebay" goes, I wouldn't buy anything of value of there, unless it was directly from the ebay polk store.
Its hard to say that the lower end of model is better then the top end of another.

Like I said before, not looking to rip someone off, just looking to get an idea on how much I can sell these for. Sales and ebay aside, the price of speakers doesnt move a whole hell of a lot, and it is subjective. If anyone wants to shoot me and offer, I'll consider it

Theheadsn

New price, anyone willing to do $825 for all three?

Once again my friend, since you asked:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TSi500-CHERRY-Tower-Speakers-Polk-Audio-PAIR-/231110972578?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item35cf4994a2

You can get a csi5 and rti12s direct from ebay for your original price. Unfortunately speakers are like manufactured homes, they tank in price as soon as you drive them off the lot (in the vast majority of cases). SO if you're really motivated to sell, you are going to have to lower your price pretty significantly. But you have a really nice setup there, so if not enjoy the tunes!

Theheadsn

good point, ill probably end up dropping the price

Theheadsn

$600 is probably the lowest I'd be willing to let them go, i don't NEED to sell them. If you look hard enough you'd be able to find a store that had these and forgot to lock the doors, u could get them for free at that point lol

for that price I'd be willing to drop them off if you were within a couple hundred miles

Theheadsn

Change of heart.... $500 bucks now thats a decent deal

rooftop59

Yep, that's a very solid deal for a great setup. GLWS!

Theheadsn

Bump

Dibs on the Army of Darkness poster. GLWTS.

Bump! Good deal for a good front stage!

On another note. I stand by my opinion that M-70s (the 500s predecessors) are more "musical" to my ear than the Rti-8s (A-5s). This is one case where the TOTL lower series can match and is better in some ways, not in others, to the entry level upper series (it goes without saying that this is not always or even usually the case).

For HT the nod may go to the lower entry Rti tower. For music, I just can't give it to the entry Rti. That's why I suggest going UP the Rti ladder as FAR as you can. Only the Rti-12s (Rti-A9s) said to me, yeah that's a BIG step up! And that's where I'd go if I were doing an upgrade. But, frankly, HT isn't worth it to me. What I have suffices and what matters most are improvements in two channel sound--which is a "separate" system.
