    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.....

    Very good deal - price leaves plenty of room for upgrades, which will be needed since those caps are 30+ years old. Tough to tell condition from those dark pics. Be sure all drivers work.
