    DAMN! I cant get that page to come up. Fug it! Ill head over there instead. If theyre indeed selling M60's for less than $200 a pair Ill snatch that up in a heartbeat.

    *edit*
    It just came up. Im pretty sure thats $175 EACH. That sucks. Still a good price but I aint got the $350 to blow. :(

    I called the sales rep on the customer service line and he assured me it was for the pair. The product description says its a pair as well as my invoice.

    How close are these in terms of voice matching a RTi series center/surrounds?

    I may be mistaken but I believe the tweeters are almost identical at least in design and materials with the exception of the larger heatsink of the RTi. The construction as well as size are also the same as the RTis 4. I dont know about the crossovers etc. Call Polk and ask is your best bet.

    Who was your sales rep, cause I just called and talked to Ken at ext 72537 and he said it was for 1. I'd really like to find out so I can get a pair ordered today.

    That is strange because the item is listed as:

    Item: 1699147T90EB
    Description: (P)BLACK EURO STYLE-Left&Right



    My sales rep name was Steve and I did not ask for his extension.

    I think that 90 eb is simply a euro version of the 60 but has wood veneer sides.
    The greatest enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth - persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

    Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

    We've got to get to the bottom of this. $175 a pair seems way too good to be true and if thats really what they are I cant pass this up.

    Tweeter has a good habit of not clarifying what their sale price really indicates (pair or single) . They did the same crap last Thanksgiving when they had the T90e onsale last time . I would bet its for a single speaker , as when you add the item to your cart it only shows $17 shipping (free) ; when for a pair shipped it should be $32 shipping (as I purchased a pair of these last time they were onsale and shipping was $32 (free) . A pair of T90e's sold for $350 last time around ; with a later (rare) 15% off code that popped up after Thanksgiving (making it about $300/pair).

    You never know though , you just may get a pair for $175 , but YMMV depending on the CS rep .

    And ... yes the T90e are a tad different from the M60's ...... having a slightly upgraded tweeter , real wood veneer and black feet vs. silver . They do match pretty well with the RTi series (a good 90%) , specially in an HT environment (less for music) . I replaced my RTi6/fronts with the T90e's/fronts strictly for HT purposes and have no complaints .
    For the money its a good buy .... if the price is REALLY $175 a pair ... then its a HOT buy (and I'll be buying another pair , lol)

    Again , knowing Tweeter and their stupid web site descriptions (errors and such) , its hard to say what your paying for ... pair or single .

    Do a forums search for "T90e" and you'll see what happened to us forum members last time the sale happened .

    Man, I just ran that search and read a couple of the threads by Stereo and Zero. What an effing scam! They obviously realized last year that people were thinking they were getting a pair of speakers and when they only got one they returned them and were upset at the confusion. So why would they do the EXACT SAME THING again this year?

    Eff Tweeter! This makes me want to shop at Crutchfield from now on!

    *edit*
    Speaking of deals, looks like Polk speakers are 15% off at Crutchfield and Circuit City.

    It does not matter to me if its one or two from my point of view they cost $350 and are identical to the M60 correct? with real wood veneer sides at a price of $170 dollars less so its still a good deal and would purchase at this price anyway.

    Yes, it is a great deal @ $350 a pair, and I hope you get lots of listening pleasure from them, as I know you will. :)

    I was just looking for the bargain of the century kind of thing, as I REALLY don't need to add to the dozen or so pairs of floorstanders I already own. I would have taken a set at $175 a pair, just because...... :D
