    I would certainly not mind giving these a listen, and lord knows it wouldn't take long to get to wherever you are, but honestly I can't even dream about affording these beauties so all I will say is good luck with your sale(s).
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    These speakers are on a completely different level from anything I have ever heard. Recently moved to a new home and don't have a proper listening room.. Forced to sell unfortunately.

    Wow. Just wow!

    They are definitely a statement piece. I can only imagine how they sound and what size of a room one would need for them.

    GLWTS.

    PS, Where on Long Island are you? I am originally from Huntington and still have a lot of relatives down there.

    Perhaps they split into three sections?

    Could be....even then it would be tight fit width wise.

    I think Skip should jump on these, in spite of their size, fairly easy to drive.

    Can't afford them. They are absolutely worth the asking price though. That is an outstanding price. I've never even seen these in the wild and never thought they'd show up on the Polk Forum.

    At this price, I don't even know if a dealer can beat it at cost.

    Come on Skip you have to find a way to swing it, an Usher dealer could swing a lot of sales with their flagship model to demo to potential customers. Thats what I would tell the wife, o:) .

    Congrats man, local is best anyway. I thought for sure Joey would have expressed interest. Maybe even PFB, 10k....those guys spend that much on cables. Fantastic price too.

    What's in store for the new joint ? Got a plan of attack audio wise ?

    First post hello Polk folks. These speakers made me register. I LOVE big speakers be it wide or tall. I own a pair of Klipsch Bell's so these are like a month to a light.
    Beautiful OP, sorry you had to let them go. Hopefully the new owners like them.
