Found a set of 5a's in their original boxes with Peerless tweeters. They are in incredible shape. Need a little cleaning but other than that thy seem great. Did not know they had Peerless when I contacted the seller and was mildly surprised when I saw them. Sound great.

Not trying to be. Wll maybe alittle. I had no idea they were Peerless until I got there and looked at them. I thought they were later model with sl2000 or 2500. Gave $50 for them.

Yeah. It always helps to carry a 9mm when speaker shopping!! Actually I was going to pay more for them but he set the price. -
Very nice pricing there! You'll enjoy those. I run a set, among other speakers, in my home office! A great speaker to chill out to after a hard day.
What's the deal with all the "attachments" in so many threads that can't be viewed without a link? Is there something wrong with the UPLOAD for this site?

Since the site was "hacked" things haven't been quite right. I've tried posting with thumbnails, but they don't work anymore. My impression was they were planning to revamp the site with different software, but who knows.Very nice pricing there! You'll enjoy those. I run a set, among other speakers, in my home office!

Right now I have hooked to a mint Yamaha CR-2020 I picked up over the summer. That was another great deal from the original owner. His wife posted it on CL and I don't think he really wanted to sell it, but when I showed up at his door with some cash he reluctantly packed it back into the original box and took the money.

Welcome to Club Polk. That's a NICE combo too! Those old HK receivers have a nice warm sound!
Great vintage system for a very LOW price!
It goes without saying that a TOTL vintage Yamaha CR would sound GREAT with some Polk Monitors, Faustin!

That 2020 sure looks SWEET & tons of power for those 5a's to preform nicely too. Everyone that hears the 5's at my house are very surprised at what they can put out for a small speaker ..
-
I am quite impressed at what the 5's put out. Right now I have them and my 10a's hooked up to the 2020 in my office so I can switch back and forth between them. Makes doing paperwork and computer work tolerable.
-
Attachment not found.I was surprised the 2216b sounded vnice with the 5a's even being a low powered.but it does it well.i have my cr2040 hooked to 10a's & it does a fantastic job even with the SL1000's in them. Very pleasant to my ears ..
