    Craigslist, he said they didn't sell at his garage sale and didn't want to put them on the street with a free sign on them..

    Nice price! I picked up a pair of 7B's a few weeks ago for $50. First 7's i've heard with Peerless tweets. Had to realign a shifted magnet but other than that. I like 'em.

    Likely story, boy he saw you coming but being the nice guy I am I'll let you give them to me and I'll even let you pay the shipping. >:)

    I'll bet if a twenty dollar bill fell out of the sky it would land in your hand. LSOB.

    Those are pretty and for $25 that's an even better score. Congrats!

    Tremendous score! 7C's with working MW's and PR's are worthy of the RDO tweeter upgrade. 7's are just nice sounding speakers, period, IMO. When you score 7C's cheaply, and even add in RDO tweeters and crossover upgrades, they are still a great value compared to the same money spent on current models.

    Sometimes when I listen to my 7's I think, "Damn, how did Polk create such a nice-sounding, inexpensive speaker in the 70's, that lasted into the early 90's, without modern materials and analysis techniques?".
