Has anyone had any experience with these?
Audioreview.com seems to like them.... but i've learned to take their 4.5+ ratings with a grain of salt because most of the people there tend to just like loud i think.... but that's just my opinion.
I can get a nice pair for $100. Is this even worth looking at?
I tried to search here.... but even with the google "cerwin vega LS-12 club polk" trick didn't really turn anything up.

Cerwin Vega's are definitely Volume speakers, meaning, sounds good at high decible levels. I had VS-120's... They were kinda beat up and I replaced the woofers w/Rockford Fosgate 12's and I still got $150 for them.
If they are perfect, you are not going to lose any money on them;)Thanks, Jeff... -

So basically.... grab them and throw them in the garage system to replace my old Technics SB-series?

Studio Rig - Scarlett 18i20(Gen3) DAW, Mac Mini, Aiyma A07 Max (BridgedX2), Totem Mites -
So basically..... worth the $100, but it's not exactly an ultimate 2-channel speaker. Hrmmm.... i do miss my stupid loud garage days.
Sent an email asking if they would take $75, but i probably won't push that too hard.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

Yeah. I'd definitely grab a pair for that cheap if they were in good condition.
I like super loud music and those have it at value. My friend had a pair and they were pretty decent. You aren't going to feel at home (Polk) whatsoever, but yeah, I'd like a pair for parties and what not. None around here though.

Come on out and visit. They're within a coupla hours of you. There's a nice pair of AT-15s on CL here, too.
And i'm not too worried about feeling at home with Polk.... I think honestly, i'm enjoying my paradigms a bit more than my Polks.... but i really need to go and spend some cash to get Polks worth my while.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

AT-15 would be way better that the LS-12. Get the AT-15. They will blow up your garage!
