    I think John has a few spare dollars for speakers. He should loan them to Nick.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Why would you email the seller and offer more money after another Polkie states interest and gives his bottom line amount and is negotiating when you would have to sell your other speakers to even afford them in the first place?

    Pretty **** on a "Polkies" behalf. IMHO

    if they were listed in the FS on forum I would agree, but in my mind CL is no different than Ebay and the best offer usually wins. I will need to sell my 1c's however...

    If Nick wants them that badly and can save a few bucks by picking them up from the guy I will carry them personally! I want no bad Karma coming my way so I sent an email telling the guy I am out. I would rather see them used for firewood than bring bad mojo to my home. As far as making the offer in the first place, surely you guys understand what a few beers can do to a guys clarity when SDA-SRS are involved. I saw those beauties and all I could think of was getting them in bed. At that price they are better than hookers and blow... Sorry Nick...

    That would suck!



    Anybody interested in buying one of my kidneys for $250.00?

    I could not do that. I hope you get them for $500.

    No, I think they are 5 ohm and if I remember right, they should be around 92db sensitivity because of all those drivers.

    I spoke to the seller and officially removed myself from the running for the speakers.Further, I put in a good worrd for Nick, telling the seller they are going to a great home with him. Seller stated he had a bunch of offers to buy them at 750.00, including mine, so I did not damage Nick's ability to buy them for less.

    Got them.


    Probably the most badass speaker I have ever seen. No picture will ever do these things justice!


    They look like they did when they were new. No exaggeration. They almost look better than new. Unbelievable I think is the word for them.


    I'm keep'em forever!



    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



    Sorry the pics aren't better. They are too damn heavy to have stopped and taken some pictures out side. They had to come straight in.



    Robert was a great guy to meet. Many thanks to him for holding them for me.;)

    They re 8ohm "compatible". They are actually 6ohms;) Stereo array is 8 and dim array is 4. These in parallel give you 6ohms nominal with dips to 4. Yes you need common ground. Glad to see you got them:)

    Well. I couldn't help it. I hooked them up to my 5 watt tube amp. I started getting some kind of feedback. So I turned it off immediately. I strapped the negatives together. Guess what. It sounds freaking AWESOME.


    I'm totally freaking in love with these speakers!!!!


    I have a felling these might not ever leave me.
