I saw these on Craigslist and am now considering selling my LSi 25's. Can someone tell me what model of Polks these are?

    Those don't look like any Polk's I've ever seen. It doesn't say Polk anywhere in the ad either...

    Those are white van specials. You'll be far better off keeping your Polks.

    Whatcha been smoking Ethan? ;)
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    a bulldozer can shake the house, but I'd rather not listen to it all day... thoughit would be slightly easier on the eyes than those speakers...

    But they're so shiny and the subs are in perfect shape! And since there aren't any cracks, I thought $200 would be a steal!!

    What are those Shiny drivers made of STEEL? They look like a steel drum...probably bullet proof.
