    Those tweeters look like they've come loose around the rims like some do. Still, 150.00 isn't bad.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I would probably take them anyway if I were out that way. Thanks to @xschop I have a set of X overs I could build for them and I always keep spare 6511's

    Those need billet tweeter plates and matching phase-plugs. Rear sound barrier stand-offs wouldn't hurt either.

    I wonder if that's nicotine residue on those.

    The seller has several ads where the drivers and tweeters are also for sale. He probably has a mountain of empty cabinets in his backyard. :D

    He must be a butcher of sorts. :#

    No wonder. Looking at the price these speakers go in Craigslist, shipping parts makes way more money, usually more than double.

    Blame Polk.
    This all happened due to the bad glue.
    Woofers shift magnet and need replacements, at prime cost.

    I know I didn't. They might as well be in Egypt far as I am concerned. Phenix City AL is a long way from there. Not only that I am actually going to start letting some equipment go. Filled up all my extra storage !

    They could have at least tried implementing a closed-back midrange.
