    That's one speaker that must be owned in your audio travels folks...stop messing with Polk for awhile and buy something truly unique.

    No, they are the original CA's. One of those designs that must be owned to be appreciated. Someone should bag these quickly. You can't touch this kind of performance for five times this price. Hell, TEN times...

    As testiment to the above comments, my original CA's went back into service when I hid the SRS's from Hurricane Rita...

    Almost a year later they are still in service and the SRS's are still hiding.
    More later,

    For those who might travel Interstate Rt 87, I'm only about three miles off of it. After this month is over (way too busy weekends until then) perhaps I could meet someone within a couple or three hours drive from me on a weekend. (I'm about 65 miles north of Albany, NY.)

    The Amazings were designed and executed on the West Coast. There's a lot more for sale over there than over here.

    Ya' think? Define serious. :p

    I'd love to hear them with the Carver Research Lightstar setup -- but, not enough to have another pair of big **** speakers in the house!

    You serious folks should grab them for a spare, don't ya' think?

    Good luck with the sale, Bob!
