    To better your odds, remove the linky and send a late night email reply. CL has vultures.

    Those are great speakers. Pre-1990(?) models were called "Monitor 11T." They don't get recognition of other Polk models, but whenever the discussion comes up folks seem to rate them only below the RTA-15 and SDS models.

    I have a pair of Monitor 11Ts. $40 at a yard sale plus $25 for a new tweeter and tung oil. Not bad for something that cost ~$1000 when new.

    That's a friggin steal. Somebody in that area needs to jump all over those, even if they need a driver or two.

    You can also get the silk dome tweeter upgrades for these. Supposed to make a big difference. It's on my list when I have some extra cash, although they sound excellent as-is.

    Seller hasn't replied yet...they probably went quick. They look to be in decent shape.

    The guy did reply, but sadly, he thought they were sold and told me he'd let me know today, if so. Haven't heard, won't hold my breath.
