I am tempted to go get these even though I am perfectly happy with my Polks.

Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I've heard nothing but good things for the Super Towers, and Tyler's in general. Some Super Towers or Linbrook Sig's could very well be my next speakers, after the SDA's I'm getting in the near future.:cool:

    Snow,
    I spoke to the seller before. He had just listed/sold a PrimaLuna Dialogue II with phono recently and I can't recall what it was he was moving up to. Rocket?, something or other.
    Anyways, he seemed squared away and sounded like he has been in the audio trading business for some time.
    Have fun.
    ChevyII, we just left winter behind, don't remind us.

    Well the more I think about it I think I will pass. I did a little research on these and he has them on Audiogon also and they have some dings and as I go along on my audio journey I get more choosey about the condition of things.
