    I sent him a message about that to see if maybe he installed them after the pics. I don’t need them but you never know.

    Always loved that rosewood finish. These speakers were IMO one of the nicest looking speakers Polk sold. I've always wanted a pair, but these are on the wrong coast...

    70's were the ugly stepchild of the LS series IMO. The larger drivers sounded bloated, midrange not as smooth as the 90's and 50's.

    Maybe 150 if they're super clean. They are early with the peerless tweets, so that helps...

    I typically find them @ 100 or less. But YMMV based on location.
