Sorry for being a pain in the **** lately asking about all the different model Polk speakers. But, can someone tell me about these models? I have been getting some trade offers for some gear I am not using anymore. That is the reason for asking about all the different models lately. :D THinking of replacing my back speakers with the FX's.

    Both speakers are fine.

    200.00 for the 800's and I'm guessing 100.00 to 150 for the fx's. Is that about right guys?
    Cheaper if your dealing with polk club members!!! usually.

    So is your equipment your trading worth the trades?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I've got the FX's, i think they're a great speaker. I would like the 1000's but only as i like to overkill things. LOL

    I've had my 500i's for about 4-5yrs now and really cant complain. They can sure take a beating if you like it loud, many a time i thought they wouldn't be able to cope, but they have...
    In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?

    Tony, yeah I think its worth it. Maybe worth more than the speakers. Its a Onkyo Integra M504 trading for the speakers. A CS (?) center channel is included in the trade.
