I picked these up from daboyz awhile ago for a girlfriend, black and very nice shape, but she prefers bookies that fit her space better, so these are going up for sale. Local pickup, I'm in Central Wisconsin but travel to Madison frequently so could meet somewhere within reason. $125.00 for the pair. I'll try to get a photo up tonight. I will donate $100 to Gary Dodd from sale proceeds.

    Lol... Man my old speakers are getting passed around this forum hehehe...

    As a FYI these are pretty much Euro versions of the Monitor 60s and were purchased prior to Newegg carrying the Monitor 60s.

    I was going to keep them for another system but I've got too much stuff and I would also like to get some funds for Gary. These speaks must've been lightly used.

    Great price for those and a lot easier to drive than the larger M-70s. Throw a good sub into the mix and you've got a nice starter system that can compete with anything in their price range and maybe even twice that range!

    GLWTS!

    They were great when I had them. Buy these with confidence. Really cool of Don to donate the proceeds.

    Couple photos of the T90e Euro's, I've heard they have real wood veneer as opposed to vinyl on the Monitor 60's, handsome speakers.

    Attachment not found.

    For some reason, I'm not being allowed to download the photo with the grills on. I also believe these have the black spikes unlike Monitor 60's.

    I have never understood, what is the difference on Euro models?

    The difference, as I understand it, is the Euro has real wood veneer instead of vinyl because no Euros will buy speakers with vinyl on them and also the spikes are black on the Euros. There are some threads that attach an email from Polk that indicate they are sonically identical to the Monitor 60's.

    Well sounds like the Polk family just got a new member :smile:. I am sure he will enjoy them. My wife bought those for me as my Christmas gift the first year we were dating :smile:.
