    You either need upload them from your computer, or use the little button on the top on the message bar and link the picture from another website.

    Very nice collection. As you can see you are my type of polkster. My family room has become an obstacle course of speakers. It's pretty bad when your kids are coming down to tell you to please turn down the music. Were the speakers in your collection found locally or did you have to take road trips to find them.

    Yamaha RX-V2500 System, Carver A753 3 channel amp.

    Polk HT system 2: , SRT system with f/x 1,000's rear speakers on 7.1 system currently using Onkyo TX-RZ820 receiver, powered by Sunfire Grand Theater amp

    Polk Speaker collection: SDA SRS 1.2tl x 2, SRT system, SDA SRS 2 P/B, SDA 2A, SDA 1C Studio, SDA CRS+, Monitor 7B & 4, SRS 3.1tl, RTA 15tl, LS90, LSI 9

    I just sold my 2.3's to a guy that had every vintage of old Polk you could imagine.

    2.3
    monitor 10
    7a's
    sda 2a

    and this is just what was in his living room.

    He also had stacks of carver equipment which I have never been a fan.

    Our bedroom for speakers...picking up a pair of like new Epicure 3's this weekend......like the 1's too. The DCM's were the pair I tried to give away here for free, they will go on audiokarma this weekend for free.....in fantastic shape too, I got em for free so figured I would pass em on....current speakers in use are a pair of like new Mirage M-1's. In the basement storage area 2 pairs of LS 50's, LS 70's, and a NOS in the box never been open Spica TC-50's bought at an estate sale for $25.00.

    I love it, much more bass and overall better sound than the Yamaha center I did have. It blends perfectly with the LS90,s I got this one for a great deal at the local pawn shops.

    Over the years I have owned well over 100 pairs but cant sell any Polks no matter how hard I try to reason it out, Denver is as far as I have had to go and thats only 50-60 miles. for some reason there are all kinds of excellent deals around here, pawn shops espically. Luckily my girlfriend likes this stuff too, but she was glad to see the 2.3's go down to the man-cave. That is quite ironic, your kids telling you to turn down the music, HA!

    I love those woven carbon fiber cones, a pair of Infinity IRS beta in perfect condition sold at a estate sale here for $500 but I was to slow.
