Monitor 10 pair in ok cosmetic condition. Previous owner painted them black, and the black is starting to come off in places. There is also some corner wear and scratches on the cabinets. These are not museum pieces, but they sound excellent.

No frozen drivers (all paper ring); all grill tabs ok; grills in decent shape with only a few snags and a couple small holes; polkaudio tags intact

I've had them in the garage setup and they are just physically too big for the space I have.

$75 local pick up. (If you think I'm out of line, please pm me)

    Well, I know it's an act of sacrilege, but would you be interesting in parting them out? Based on their physical condition, might be a way to make more money over all. I have a friend that's looking for some peerless tweeters and XOs. Shoot me a PM if it's something you'd be interested in.

    I hate to part the monitors out but there's a lot of old monitors out here needing transplants for survival and I'm sure the parts would be greatly appreciated.
    It would help out a lot of Polk Monitor fanatics like me.
    Besides, you could double your money and pay yourself for the time taken to pack and ship.
    Just a thought.
    Good luck with them.

    I have a set of Monitor 10's sitting in my hallway. Used them for surrounds for awhile and they have been abused (they can be rescued). I can part them out for $$$? If youir buddy is interested, have him email me at bsoko2@comcast.net.

    Thanks for all the reminders they are worth more. However, it is worth more to me to sell a working pair whole at a lower price than have them canibalized.

    These are on CL for $100...would love to see a polkie get them, though. I need to move these out.

    SOLD!

    If they wouldn't have sold so quickly, I would have raised the price after all your encouraging words. :D Just wanted to pass along a good deal...everybody needs one once in a while.
