    Read the reviews.

    I only see 3 reviews and nothing particular about them that stands out to me except the one guy who doesn't believe in them but still gave it 4 starts. None of them really talked about the merits of the outlet itself.
    I guess I still don't see how this is a deal.
    Not meant to offend or anything but this is in the Audio Deals of the Day thread and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an oppotunity or something, since sometimes sales may only be displayed to members or certain geographical areas.

    ^I THINK those are Monitor 10s. If they're in good shape, that's a pretty good buy.

    Go check them out. :)

    I think you are right. but vintage polks like these are usually for stereo 2 channel purposes right? I can only afford the space for one system right now and it is for HT purpose. Would these work fine as the surrounds or surround backs or HT at all? The Fxi's are what I'm really after but they are still a bit too expensive for me...

    Edit: Actually I could always add them to the Zone 2 on my receiver and squeeze them in somewhere...

    What else do you have? I think a full HT built around the old vintage Monitors would sound excellent.

    I'd personally run 10s in front, 7s in back, and whatever center would match well.

    The 10s would work fine as surrounds, but i'd be more worried about them being a better/bigger sounding speaker than your mains, depending on what you have currently.

    I have RtiA5s in the front. Although the guy said he wouldnt deliver and I do not have a car so this deal is off but I still would like to know how they compare. I think they are probably not that comparable.

    Got my Audio Advisor catalog on Friday.

    They still have some Cambridge 640c v2 CDP players for $349.

    Darn good deal.

    They're VERY nice speakers, and at that price a complete no-brainer. :D

    I would suggest you go see if they work, and if they do, pick them up, don't bother spending a lot of time demo-ing them at the seller's house.

    If you happen to NOT like them, i'll buy them from you for the same price +shipping immediately. :)

    This 40% off coupon is only good thru today.
    You can use this on only one item and requires a Borders membership.

    You can use this on almost any other purchase you want as well with some specific exclusions (such as No Vinyl, BOGO, eBooks, magazines, comics, video games, etc) but appears to work for most books and CDs incl box sets.

    I tested it on the Beatles Mono Box set (even though its backordered) and it worked - took $60 bucks more off of the selling price of $242, final price calculated to about $182. (Its already listed at 20% off) - That's about 20% less than Amazon.

    The Beatles Stereo Box set was $184, and comes to $158 after coupon. This only took an additional $26 off. (its already listed at 30% off)

    Note the discount is calculated and subtracted from the List price-its not additive to the current sale price- but still better.

    And Free Shipping over $25.

    At the Borders.com, use Promotion Code:
    for 40% thru 11/2: BRE1129H
    for 20% thru 11/4: BAF6652H

    Here's a link to the actual coupon in case you want to see the exclusion details or print it for use in store.

    Enjoy! :cool:

    ***Edit
    Just for kicks I did this with the Complete DVD set for Star Trek Deep Space 9, Retail of $446, the coupon saves you $178.40 for a total of $268 - so if you're a Start Trek fan.....I'm sure you can find somethig you like and save.

    I know :) He's willing to ship but that could result in astronomical shipping fee for these big boys.

    One thing to note though, is the fact that the speakers are of slightly different shades of cherry. However, from talking to him, performance is really great. These are one notch above the Lsi line from what I heard. Great deal for sure. I would've jumped on them if I didn't buy my RtiA5s recently.
