    Not sure either of theses is a "deal", but they both sure look pretty...

    SDA-2B - $500 (San Diego, CA

    RTA-12B - $550 (San Diego, CA)

    No Affiliation with either. Local flipper who typically has a bunch of good stuff for sale.

    That's sexy. I was a big Kenwood fan back in the late 80's. They made some decent stuff back then imho.

    I might be mistaken but to me it appears to be a Kenwood Super Eleven.

    Looks like you are correct. All I could get was the little icon symbol by Kenwood to me it looked like the old Pioneer icon

    Yup.
    Original owner Polk speakers generally are in great condition and I'd pay a bit more knowing that.

    The original or inherited speakers I've bought have been great buys. B)

    I paid significantly more than that for mine as the good stuff isn't normally found cheap. They also ended up being economical in the long run as they've stopped the speaker go round here since 2011.
