    Do it.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    They sound very good for their size. The tweeter is very, very sweet-sounding.
    I am still a little puzzled by their price, but not to the point to say they're outrageously expensive. They are expensive for rather ordinary-looking little two-way, ported bookshelf speakers, though, you know? Other than being rear-ported, the form factor's pretty evocative of the ELAC Debut B6.2-whatever things, e.g.

    Do they sound better? Yes. How much better per $ is the question I can't really muse upon.

    I wonder how they'd compare to the wired morph of the KEF LS-50?

    oops, I should not post L200 comments in this thread, should I?

    Following directions/coloring inside the lines was never my best thing. You can kinda tell that I was never in the military. :#

    Can we get an update? I need to know when my time is getting close, so I can be ready to get the most out of the time I have. I have no idea who has the speakers at the moment.

    Thanks

    I’m in and will send info.

    I have one question Jesse.

    If two participants are really close and willing to DRIVE to meet (and save a chance of shipping damage), can that be done?

    IE if someone in a Chicago or Louisville is willing to meet someone from Indy at a mutually beneficial location..... is that allowed?

    You better get cookin' then, I believe you need 100 posts min. to be in.

    ...and yes, handing off to another is acceptable over shipping.
