This is Polk Audio but I will give these a try. I have a AV123.com pair of MTM tower speakers and matching center channel. Pick these up to here what they sounded like, very respectable speaker VG lower end and extremely detailed, they are big but look really good in a HT setting. I have the original everything for these box, manual, spikes, and cotton bags they came in, I am looking for 425.00 for the towers and center. Let me know pickup in NJ, will ship at buyers expense and insured for full value. More pics to follow over the weekend, you can see they are run with some cool equipment. The finish is a Paliaster Natural Finish, very nice.

Split price would be:

$325.00 for the towers.
$100.00 for the center channel.

    Just a FYI you would probably get more info if you listed the speakers in the title. The xls seems to be very well thought of around here, and this is just the bigger brother. Great deal, I assume they are black?

    Any issues that potential buyers should be aware of, such as a blemish in the finish or scratches? I notice you don't list the physical condition.

    Sorry,

    Just been doing this piece meal from the road, their is some fissuring of the wood in certain spots as is know to happen on alot of these speakers with this finish, can only be seen from certain angle, since this is a local pick-up speakers would be inspected before purchase is made to insure satisfaction. Buyer like buyer pays, buyer don't like buyer don't pay, simple as that. Price reflects above mentioned fissure issue. Sound wise excellent and they can dig a little deep.

    Sweet. :)

    I've yet to hear a pair of AV123. Is that a ported design?

    Lou,

    No problem man, they are here, they are really imposing speakers and look better in person. Come and take a look and listen, you can also take a little look at the emo gear too. Just a tid bit I have one of their subs which will go along with the speakers which I can give at a very good price.

    No problem, these are in really nice shape and sound very good for what they are. I tried them in both HT & 2ch very nice sound, they run great on the Emotiva gear.
