Hello,

I am looking for a pair of inexpensive Polk's for a friend who wants to upgrade his crappy HTIB Pioneer speakers. I am looking for a set of RT 5/3/15/25/35 or even some R 10/15/20. Please let me know if you can help a future Polkie out.

Thanks- Greg

    Let's look through those closets, so we can help this guy join the Polk family.

    Thanks all!

    I found these on Ebay... There are IMO some of the best bookshelves Polk has made...

    Thanks PM.

    However, that is more than his budget will allow.

    I appreciate the info though- Greg

    I doubt you will find many of the models mentioned for under 100 bucks, except the R10, R15, possibly the Rt15i.. or unless a polkie has a good deal, which im guessing no one does yet.. but good luck

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I put in a few dollars of my own money in, and Bob adjusted his price. In the end, we got my buddy a pair of RT25's to start him down the Polk road.

    Thanks Bob!

    Another Club Polk success story...

    RT 25's arrived today, looking like the day they left Polk. Thank you so much. We now have a new member of the Polk family.

    Great speakers and a super fast ship!

    Thanks Bob!
