    ...and setting a time to meet for these in the next few hours.

    maybe this will satisfy my need to buy something for a little while :rolleyes:

    At first I thought these were in Newtown in Bucks county, probably an hour or more from me, but turns out they are in Newtown Sqauare which is only 15 minutes--I would have gone to Bucks anyway, but this is even sweeter!!

    OK braved the torrential downpours and picked them up a few hours ago. One word to describe them: MINT!! Posting a new thread on these 5A's so as not to throw the thread off.

    Thanks again for the heads up Pycroft--I usually check CL several times a day, but sometimes I just use craiglook.com, but it seems that its a day or two behind the real CL. Of course today I hadn't used the real CL. :rolleyes:

    I am a customer of new egg... You have to log in to apply the code....I did and was shown invalid :( Pretty good deal even without the code, thats why I was like cool....but it wouldnt apply.

    They must have only had the coupon code valid for a short time...the dealnews link showed it was posted 2 days and 6 hours ago. That would have been a fantastic deal....even paying taxes because newegg is here in CA.

    I only see 3 reviews and nothing particular about them that stands out to me except the one guy who doesn't believe in them but still gave it 4 starts. None of them really talked about the merits of the outlet itself.
    I guess I still don't see how this is a deal.
    Not meant to offend or anything but this is in the Audio Deals of the Day thread and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an oppotunity or something, since sometimes sales may only be displayed to members or certain geographical areas.

    ^I THINK those are Monitor 10s. If they're in good shape, that's a pretty good buy.

    Go check them out. :)

    I think you are right. but vintage polks like these are usually for stereo 2 channel purposes right? I can only afford the space for one system right now and it is for HT purpose. Would these work fine as the surrounds or surround backs or HT at all? The Fxi's are what I'm really after but they are still a bit too expensive for me...

    Edit: Actually I could always add them to the Zone 2 on my receiver and squeeze them in somewhere...

    What else do you have? I think a full HT built around the old vintage Monitors would sound excellent.

    I'd personally run 10s in front, 7s in back, and whatever center would match well.

    The 10s would work fine as surrounds, but i'd be more worried about them being a better/bigger sounding speaker than your mains, depending on what you have currently.

    I have RtiA5s in the front. Although the guy said he wouldnt deliver and I do not have a car so this deal is off but I still would like to know how they compare. I think they are probably not that comparable.
