    I suppose this is a deal considering his price is 72% off what the retail was.

    I think that IS a good price from all the reviews I've ever read considering Wilson speakers. Reviewers always state the stratospherically high prices but at the end of the reviews...they wish they had the ability to buy the review samples . LOL.

    160 Lbs. EACH speaker ! Good God...what are they made with ?!

    Looks like a decent price on a pair of Polk RT100i and Rotel receiver, no affiliation.

    https://louisville.craigslist.org/ele/d/rotel-am-fm-av-receiver-and/6438064080.html

    If I was closer.. I noticed a pack of " touch up markers " on the same table. Somebody's doin some touch up on those towers. But they still look great from here !

    I always liked Rotel electronics !

    And after hearing a set of Polk towers just like those but different series, I was BLOWN AWAY by the huge sound-field they produce and the BASS....WOW. .Impressive !
    I would have to hear those powered subs work before I leave and the tweeters too. I bought a set of RTi8's on a table / shelf up in the air. I thought the tweeters were working but they weren't. I wonder if the seller in the ad is doing the same trick .

    So , A huge Rotel receiver and a BEAUTIFUL set of POLK powered towers at a steal of a price. Could be a WIN, WIN, WIN !

    Depends.... are you even remotely close to Chicago, or know someone that can get you a set from there to you?

    Someone needs to go buy this....850 is a steal.

    Don't let this bad boy fool you either, if you run it as a 2 channel amp, it will put out over 200 watts per. These amps have balls and finesse, and you'll be hard pressed to find it's limits.

    Looks like someone did...it's marked "Off" and cannot be responded to. I would have grabbed it. I don't need a 3 channel, but, I would have hooked it up at a friends house and gotten him bit by the Butler bug.

    This looks pretty interesting if you're in the area and don't mind he has no transactions.

    Nice looking pair of Infinity Reference, nice job on the cabinet refinish. I have no affiliation. As always, if someone is interested I can try and make arrangements, they're not far from my house.

    If you enlarge they are not painted as the voice coil leads are as clean as the midranges and same color of glue. I must admit i have never seen Infinity woofers of that color. Wonder if they are factory replacement.

    If they painted it from the inside it would look the same. Just saying that driver looks right but like it’s been painted with gray plastic spray paint.

    It does look painted with plastic to me too. I have a bunch of Infinity classics but none have that woofer. But a little web search shows every set of them had those. I've seen a lot of speakers and never came across one of those. They look very high quality, don't they?

    Well, they came home with me...why I have no idea. It's a sickness, man!

    He also had a pair of Panasonic, I know Panasonic right? They were different looking speakers than anything I ever remember from Panasonic and they actually sounded pretty good. Some pics below. Had surprisingly good mids and uppers, very clear and detailed without being edgy and decent presentation.
