Originally sold for around $500/pair in the mid to late 90's. A real a STEAL for the budget minded audiophile. Once bought, they will not leave your collection. Rare to find a pair anyone is willing to part with.
Black and in excellent condition.
I also have a pair of Monitor 7B's for sale for $150
Buy both because they are rare to find someone willing to part with them.

I had them not too long ago and they sounded fantastic. They are very well build and for that price is a very good deal.Make it simple...Make it better!

These are great speakers. Impossible to equal for the price.

I cannot believe these speakers are still here. Any college students in Boston reading this. You will not find a better speaker for the dorm room. The are small enough but pack a punch. 19"x9.5"x11" - 27lbs each.

"...Not only are the Polk RT7s just about the biggest-sounding, best-sounding bookshelf speakers we've heard lately... they're also among the best-looking, best finished and most versatile speakers around. Embodying breakthrough materials and design technologies they throw down a stiff challenge to anything sub-$1000 in their ability to bring a sense of lively realism and tonal accuracy to fine music and both the punch and clarity essential for dynamic movie sound."
"...the RT7's and PSW300's were a true knockout...They competed well with my B&W speakers [$5,500/pair], thanks to their smooth and extended response coupled with powerful and smooth bass reproduction." -
Still available - Let's go Boston!

Really? No one wants these great speakers? Probably better than anything for $500 in the store today.

The 7b's are the best speaker ever built for the $$. You can easily recap them if you want.

Really, no one wants these speakers. Am I posting this on the Polk forum? Really! Same for the 7B's I have on this board.

I have had 5 RT7s since the early 90s . . . . IF you lived closer we could offer 7.1 w/my 18 HZ Velodyne FSR-15 !!
I'm pretty confident that our local BB has nothing in stock that sounds as good.
I would be glad to find out what newer Polk model was ~ = RT7. As it is, I'm about to add 1 as a center to the 2 w/basement TV; and pair the other 2 for a 2-channel rig w/Yamaha A-S2000, Marantz TT-15S1, Denon DRM-800, TEAC ud-501 & MBP w/SSD & Audirvana Plus. I think the Velo might just fit under the desk . . . . -

They are great speakers, but the board has slowed a bit the last year or so, and the flea market especially. Also, they are large and the shipping cost is probably putting them out of reach for a a lot of folks. Finding a local buyer always takes longer.

Why not reduce the price a bit before literally giving them away? Some folks utterly perplex me...

Already did. -

Agree. Both pairs (Polk 7B's in other thread) are at the top of their price range... at the right price, they will sell. Why not try a 25 or 50 dollar discount, sell them both and get something out of them, and ensure they are just flipped on e-bay? -
$125 a pair picked up. No shipping.
-
Still available.
Shipment from MA to NC by UPS Ground is only $45. -
are the $150.00 RT7's still avalilable? I know someone that lives in Boston that may be able to get these for me. Where in Boston are they? Can you send some photos?

fedmetal, although more than the $150 this old sale originally asked for, get yourself a pair of new Polk R100's. I have a pair on my home office desk powered with an old Technics receiver. Fantastic speakers for the price.
