Dudeinaroom has first dibs on the R20 and Louthewiz has first dibs on the tweeter. These are gone unless one of them backs out.

The items below are free to a good home. I prefer local pick up (Orlando, FL), but will ship at cost if needed.

Single Polk R20
Tweeter from broken R20

The R20's twin suffered a fatal fall about a year ago. The B Tech 77 bracket clamp that held it loosened over time and the speaker fell about 7 feet. The driver basket bent and the enclosure was busted into pieces. I have since replaced the R20's with a used pair of RT35i's and I don't have a need for a single R20. I used screws on the bracket clamps this time so I won't have this problem again:)

I'd like to help a fellow Polkie who has a need for this, so if you have a lonely R20 here is your opportunity to grab one for free. The drivers are all in great shape and worked perfectly when disconnected about a year ago. The cloth is a bit discolored (purplish) and there are slight dents in the sides at the bottom where the brackets clamped the speaker

I would prefer a local pick up, but will take it to a local UPS pack and ship and will ship at cost if needed.

SDA 2 w/Vampire BPHEX

    Disneyjoe, you are next in line if someone backs out. I'm in the Bay Hill area.

    Disneyjoe7,

    The R20 is yours if you still want it. PM me and we'll set up a meeting place and time. I live in North Bay, so the drive from Dr. Philips is a pretty short one.

    Disneyjoe7, I'll see you around 6:15 PM for the R20 drop off. I hope your boss likes the speaker.
