These are available on my local Craigslist. The owner is asking $150 for the pair. What are they and is this a good deal? Thanks!

As far as if it is a good deal or not, if they are in great shape it should be a decent deal. Biggest thing is to ensure the installed amps work2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

Alex, What is Polk SRT for 100 please.
Maybe RT
Either way ask about any amp problems or past work.

The SRT towers looked different. RT something.Political Correctness'.........defined

I went off the base, it looked big
My second was RT 3000/5000. Never seen them in the wild personally.

Thanks for weighing in without much info! He sent a pic of the back of one tower. There’s an RT at the beginnings of the serial number. Does this help?
BTW this would be for fronts for home theater in a man cave that’s just in the dream stage so far. -
I would pass myself, working or not, those amps are a deal breaker for me…

Also would pass on these. IMO, other Polks are likely available that sound better for similar cash, among other brands.CD Players: Sony CDP-211; Sony DVP-S9000ES; Sony UDP-X800M2 (x2); Cambridge Audio CXC

This has all been very helpful! I had no idea Polk made any speaker with a built in amp. I’ve had good luck with with older speakers but not with older subwoofers. The amps fail! I appreciate the good advice.
