7 vintage polk home theater speakers

I am downsizing and this is a package deal I have put together. I have 2 mint RT800 Maple all wood speakers. I am the original owner. 1 CS400 center speaker in excellent shape, 2 FX 500 speakers in excellent shape and 2 RT 800 speakers in black in fair shape. The grilles would need to be recovered but they are very well. So if you have a 7.1 receiver, this would be a nice setup. The bundle cost 500 dollars. I also have a 60 inch Sony Projection TV in mint condition for an extra 50 dollars. This is for local pick up only. I will not separate. I live 10 miles north of Scranton Pa.xutabjouz1gy.jpg

    Those rt800s in maple are rare! I think they look much better than the black ash vinyl.

    I bought the Maple RT800 from a higher end audio store. I never see them around.

    Great speakers (I’ve had RT55’s and RT800’s). Can you get better pics? Those are very blurry.

    The biggest problem I had with the RT800 was the plastic surround behind the grilles: it would melt in direct sunlight and warp. Those pics are so blurry that I can’t tell what that area looks like, and if the maple version had a better implementation.

    If anyone needs grilles for these, I have a brand new CS400 grille purchased directly from Polk, but never used. I also have flawless RT800 grilles.
    Alea jacta est!
