Is it worth it?
I found some LS90's for $100. I am trying to build a good home system on a budgit. Would these be as good as the monitor 60's?

The last time I saw this same question, I believe the response was "run don't walk!" If you don't want them tell someone where they are, because there are a lot of people on here that would love to get their grubby hands on them:D Good luck!Sony 40" LCD

Wow these are some nice speakers they really sound great. They are in good shape has some nicks scratchs but I would say they are a 8/10. The black screen on one of them has a stain and needs to be cleaned any idea how to do that?

Nice man! I just picked up a pair of LS90s as well, Lovin' the sound of them
They are a much nicer speaker than the monitor 60. I have both, and not only is the LS90 about twice as heavy, it goes WAYYYYYY lower and is crisper. -

Smookin deal! just take the grill in the shower and run it under very warm watter and gently use soap. let air dry over night. this has worked countless times for me on plastic frame grills but of course not for wood frame grills. -
Someone should put up a sticky grading used speakers for Polk newbs with FMV pricing. That way when a "must have" speaker comes along at "steal" pricing they can move quickly.
