    What is the condition of cabinets, no frozen drivers etc etc. Have you inspected them in person?

    In great shape? I've seen them go for less than $100 before, but I'd say $175-200 would be a fair price for some minty ones. Possibly a bit more if it's a local sale(convenience factor and all that).

    Haven't seen'em in person. They are said to work perfectly, and the pics show that they are near mint.

    There are actually 2 pairs:

    One has the original Polk stands and boxes and is MINT.

    The other is "excellent", comes with non-original stands, and 2 of the dust caps are dented in, but it doesn't affect the sound.

    If it's a good price...RUN don't walk. It's very uncommon to find some vintage Monitors with the original stands...and they really do a lot to improve the sound.

    I managed to track down a pair of original stands for my 7A's a while back, and it turned them into a whole new speaker.
