    Damn; I let a pair slip away from me local for $250... I shouldn't say that - if I had $250, I wouldn't let them go.
    I have heard nothing but praise here on the forums for that model though.

    Yeah, if you could you should have snagged them. The XO and RDO upgrade really transform them into something special.

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

    And , Florida is another state that seems to have an oversupply of Polk vintage.

    For the price of LSI's that is a bargain. I have LSI's and the 1c's def. blow them away. I have never seen a set in that great of condition, for that set I don't think it was a bed price at all.

    Wow. That price makes my fully modded/refinished 1C's look like a bargain at $625.00 this last July. Mind you I did buy them from a forum member here at CP.
