    Seems like Fry's usually has the entry-level ones on sale fairly regularly. Might be a good place to buy new w/ warranty...

    I Was Able To Buy A Brand New Pair Of Polk R300 Floor Standing Speakers from Fry's.The total was only $119.00 and that Included the Shipping Charge.

    They actually surprized me with their performance for such a Low Price.And the Best Thing Is I Think They Will Make Awesome Surround Speakers when I Finally Can Afford a Pair Of Polk TSI 400's.

    So the R300's Are an Exceptional Deal For Fronts and then to Serve as Surrounds.(They Kind Of Remind Me Of The Speakers That Keep On Giving:D)

    Check out http://newegg.com. They have Polk products now and usually have them at a great price with Free Shipping. I know they had Polk Monitor 50's for $100 for the PAIR awhile back brand new with free shipping. That only lasted around a few days though. It might of been a fluke in their system. But nonetheless, super cheap. Sometimes cheaper then the eBay store.

    When was that? Sounds like they were giving those things away. Can't make any money, even on refurbs at 50 bucks each? I got a pair of TSI-300s, a while back for 180 a pair (new) and I though I was doing 'well'?

    That's a good idea. Also the M50s or newer TSI-300s are a great entry Polk all-arounder. You can use it in as fronts in a home theater system, or as surrounds in a more robust system. Or even as stand alone stereo fronts (probably need a sub) but really nice performer for the normal price, let alone for what you can get it on SALE. See sites above and polk ebay direct link in the Polk menu above.

    On polk's ebay store they constantly have monitor 50s going for 100 to 140. They are refurbished, but I cant tell the difference.
