    I contacted the seller, apparently they had so much interest in 12 hours that they decided pull the ad and try to relist at a higher price. I will keep an eye out but they will probably ask $800 haha. Oh well. What would top dollar be in everyone’s esteemed opinion?

    I was so tempted because they’re a little narrower and shorter than the SRS2's. And they’re pin/blade (mine are ‘86 blade/blade). But I would just have to sell the SRS2’s if I were to pick up the 3.1 TL's, couldn’t justify keeping both pairs. C'est la Vie...

    I will be selling my 10’s and RTA8’s soon. I have too many... need to share the love. :D

    My room is 25’ wide x 15’ deep, the SRS2’s do fantastic, but the wife is always wishing the system footprint was a little narrower... so smaller cabs are tempting...

    That's about the size of my room and I have a cathedral ceiling too. The SRSs are just right for our sq. footage I feel. ;)B)

    I was talking about the Monitor 5s.

    I know Drew doesn't want towers or he may want, he just doesn't really have the room for them right now.

    Agreed, Cody. I would buy them if I had room to set them up properly and do them justice. I bet they would have plenty of bass for my tastes. ;)

    No can do, the "fluid coupling" will get me in trouble with the TSA. Haven't you read their regulations? No passive radiators over 3" allowed.

    This works out to approx 150$ total shipped even with the units boxed by FedEx... Ok, I'm really serious, who's close?

    Polk 10A monitors with Peerless tweeters.....$125. Philadelphia area.

    These were listed at $200 for a while. Didn't post them here because i didn't think that was a "deal". But now at $125 someone should get em. These are IMO the best 10's, the ones with the Polk logo on the wood (not the grill). The pair I have sound great.
