    Sounds about right to me, but maybe you should wait for those Polkies who ALWAYS seem to find classic Polks for almost "nothing" to tell us this is too high! lol

    Minty 5Bs for 90, sure!

    Ha! Yeah some folks seem to trip over all the deals. Also saw a pair of 2Bs that looked an awful lot like my old one i sold about a year ago. I let them go for 375.00 and this guy is asking 350.00. Sent him a message to ask.

    That's what I paid for mine, with original boxes and stands.

    I ran them for several weeks and put my 2A's back in the system, and the B's have been sitting ever since.

    Have room for 'em at the new place?

    I just might. I do miss them sometimes. Just scored a parasound that would power them properly.
