    They look like RT600. If you like the sound of them, then they are worth $100. They'd probably be an upgrade over your RT400 and a better match to your center. Better snag em.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Owning the RT400s and having heard the RT600s on several ocasions (as well as owning several of the RTxxxi series speakers)...lateral move at best and maybe a downgrade IMO. They are probably worth the $100. Buy them and sell the pair you don't like or keep them both. It's only a Franklin.

    heck yeah those are worth $100! I had some and they are admirable speakers, just didn't go with my bedroom decor and were too short.

    Good speakers, though. Worth $100 in parts alone.

    Absolutely worth $100 just be careful with the tweeters LOL andy. I bought a pair brand new when they came out still have them hooked up to a denon and sound great. I bought another pair off andy hooked them up to the same denon 3 weeks later both tweeters went. Strange I didnt overpower them the denon is only 85wpc and my original RT600's are hooked up to the same denon not your fault andy:) just need the info on ordering replacements.

    $600 retail, sure they are worth it.

    Easily worth $100-150, I would expect them to sell in that range on e-Bay with shipping costing extra. Ask Nikolas812, he paid $200 including shipping on e-Bay and they got smashed to pieces in transit. Fortunately they were insured so it ended up being not such a disaster. http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showpost.php?p=723091&postcount=1.

    $200 would be my top estimate for those, and you probably wouldn't get that if you were selling them on craigslist.com.
    Alea jacta est!

    Follow up:

    I did not buy the speakers because one cabinet had a crack in the back and the other speaker had a scratchy noise coming out of the woofer.
