    Congrats!

    I bought a POLK CS-350 a year ago or more and after I got it home it sounded like flapping paper with a good bassy background. I knew some Polks have spider decoupling issues so I pulled the woofers out. Sure enough, 2 or 3 were loose from their frames. Simple Aileen's Tacky Glue application solved the issues perfectly. Then , the next day I heard it in all its glory!

    It's a Very Nice Center speaker for sure!

    I'm expecting it to pair well with my LS 50s. It's time to swap out some HT speakers. Currently it's an Infinity bottom of the barrel center, RTi 6 for L and R, then some no name cubes for surround and front hight duty. Really though I need to spin the room 90° but not till the new projector and support pillar removal. Just switched jobs, so too much life is happening right now.

    I believe these are RT3000’s, and a great price assuming no amp issues.

    Crossovers will probably need work to get the tweeters to work again. I hope a buyer can test but still, the prices are VERY NICE. Especially those tall towers with the receiver for 50 or best offer. Beware of a set-up!

    That's what I found out after buying my RTi8's and RTi12's.

    I bought the RTi8's crossovers from Polk.

    Polk doesn't have RTi12 cross-overs anymore.

    $550 is Forte territory. $400 max depending on version for Heresy if cosmetics are good.

    Shouldn't it belong in the vintage Polks for sale thread, not the misc. audio equipment thread?

    If I'm interpreting the thread titles correctly, "Vintage Monitor and SDA Speaker Deals" means only Monitor and SDA series speakers which I don't believe the above posted RTA series falls under.
