madmax is a great guy, buy with confidence, great speakers at a great deal.

I agree, a gentleman 100%.

Great prices, and you would be insane not to at least TRY and sell some of your bothersome children to buy these speakers.

madmax,

I was wondering why are you selling these and are you only going to sell them as a set, or will you sell seperate?

CRj

I would like to sell as a set just because I don't want to waste a lot of time with them but if they don't sell I'll probably break them up into pairs.

I am selling them because I already have the SDA's which I personally like better for two channel given my room and electronics. HT has not turned out to be the priority I thought it would be. Another reason is that I would like to try some magnepans for the fun of it and this would make a nice down payment.

PS: Thanks for the above praises!

I can also vouch for both Chuck and the LSi's....

Great speakers, great price and Chuck is a GREAT guy.

This is a win-win deal.

Chuck, what kind of Maggies are you looking for?

I may be interested in the 9's or the 15's if you decide to break them up eventually. Let me know

madmax

10-10-2003, 05:17 PM

I would sell the LSi9's for $575 or the LSi15's for $975. (total including shipping and insurance)
madmax

Edit: Changed above from LS15 (mistake) to LSi15.

Also, and this is dumb, my separate price is lower than my original system price because I wanted $330 for the center.

The System price I really want is $1880. I don't know how I calculated $1940.

So to summarize: (all including shipping and insurance)

Complete system: $1880
or
LSi15's $975
LSi9's $575
LSiC $330

It's listed in the site somewhere. Crutchfield might be a good place to look for what it actually costs new. I would look it up for you but I'm late for work right now. This evening I'll check it out. Gotta run...

I was relying on the forum this time because my email is at work and I'm somewhere else. I don't want to OK a sale here with an offer waiting somewhere else. (possibly one that came in sooner). Also, I haven't figured out why it is disabled on the site yet.

The RTi blowout shite may well be affecting real ear purchases Max. It is a shame, those LSi's are priced to blowout also.

Just FYI you onlookers, these are the definitive current Polk Audio speakers. They set the standard by which the R and RTi's are measured.

Well Damn,
I thought those were pretty reasonable prices. So much for re-sale value. I could get more than that out of a single pair of 15 year old SDA's that I spent less on. Oh well, live and learn. I'll re-post where they are for sale once I take pics and all that crap. I figured this would be easy but I guess not. Are people actually spending the real cash for them in the stores? I can't imagine how I would feel if I had just spent over 3 grand on them and wanted to sell for over a third off with free shipping with no real hits. That would really bite.

madmax, i just don't hear many people lusting after the LSI's anymore like they where a year or two ago. sad really.

i'd go with what russ said and put them up for auction. it's very nice of you to offer them to the forum members first.. for super good prices... don't sell yourself short.. stick to your prices.. i'm sure someone out there would love to have them.

good luck.

I'm guessing if you can buy a "new" system on Ebay for maybe $200 more then what is the point of buying a "like new" system?

10-16-2003, 11:26 AM

madmax, you may want to sell them seperately too. you will probably get more $ that way if you do.

hey madmax...

what does that mean?? The center is only avaliable in black, but u have the front and rears in more colors besides the black??? or u trying to say the others are cherry

BTW, where do you live.. East coast???

thanks...

10-16-2003, 12:13 PM

The LSi's are two tone, black shiny finish with either black ash wood side panels or cherry wood side panels. The center doesn't have any side panels and is just shiny black all over. His speakers are all black, black shiny finish on black ash wood panels.

Some people like the cherry but for me, I think the black ash is awesome. It is almost like a multi-shade coal color. Very aestheticly pleasing.

madmax

10-16-2003, 10:29 PM

Here is a thought. If anyone is semi local I would be happy to travel up to an hour to meet you. I would mark off $35 from the 9's, $70 off the 15's or $17 off the lsiC. Or if you bought them all I would mark off $150. That would be $1730 for the whole system! Can you beat that?

This is getting interesting, one problem I have brand new 70/main/40center combination that i need to get rid of and could step right into the LSi series, if anybody is interested or can help make this transaction happen let's try to put this together, I live in Jersey so meeting you 1/2 way or something like that is no problem. Somebody help us do this.

Hey sorry about the lag time in response, but my 40 is yours for 250.00 shipped overnight Fedex insured, all paperwork original shipping material and all. It is brand new maybe 10-15 hours on it and it is flawless. Let me know and then I can talk to madmax about his center. Madmax if you read this let me work out the center, then the 70 with anyone interested, and hold the center and 15 for me.

Hey,

Polkster I think the center is gone know on to the rti70's. I brought these from a authorized dealer have original boxes, manuals, rubber feet, and everything thing else. Will furnish reciept for any action that needs to be taken with them. I am asking 550.00 if I have to ship them 500.00 for a local pick-up or up to 2 hour drive from central NJ for a drop off. These are flawless with less than 20 hours on them, black is the coller and I will post pictures tomorrow sometime in the afternoon. I have not seen these on sale anywhere I went to alot of places looking for these and believe me I am not making any money on these, probably taking a lost but will sacrafice for the LSi series. Let me know. E-mail me at carlos.rivera@spcorp.com and we can talk. Just in case any references of my dealing can be had from some of the other members I have dealt with. What I offer is what it is nothing more nothing less.

CRj:)

10-19-2003, 09:02 PM

CRj,
It's fine to put it here but you might want to make a seperate thread just so people see it. If someone wants that particular speaker they may not be looking here at an LSi thread, especially a long one like this. Just mentioning it because I sometimes don't look past the original thread names.

I've just started to build me a 'nice' living room...
I've just bought the Sony KV-34XBR910 with the Denon DVD-2900
and nice Salamander AV rack....

I was planning in a near future ...not that 'near' ( at least 6...maybe 12 months) to add the Denon AVR-4802R and a full 7.1 set of LSi....
...and man, i have too say that this price is really appealing...this is a hell of a deal!
since I don't even have the receiver yet... these speaker would just sit in the living room ...LOL
I need to convince the wify though...

Which state are you in?

How long ago did you purchase them?
How does the warranty work in this case?
Why no Paypal (doesn't requier account to be pre-set, the buyer just need your email)?

...i just have a really bad after taste left over by a couple of transactions gone bad with MO...

By tonite i will most likely have taken a decision...:)

madmax

10-20-2003, 03:32 PM

No warranty on the 9's. They were purchased 6 months ago from one of the grey market ebay dealers. Perfect, just no warranty. I have only played them a few times.

The 15's and center were purchased new from an authorized dealer by a fellow polk member. He sold them to me shortly afterwards when he got the DIY bug and decided to build his own. I think polk warrantees any speaker that was purchased from an authorized dealer whether you or someone else purchased it. (they can tell because the SN is removed if not authorized).

I made both purchases about 6 months ago, obviously the 15's and center are a little older, by how much, I truely am not sure. Not too long.

Paypal requires a history before they let you receive that sum of money. When you first sign up you are limited to $500. At least that is what it was about a year ago when I checked into it. Yea, I guess I should have started back then but I didn't.

I think most on this forum know me. Feel free to PM whoever for references. I have done quite a bit of dealing with Hoosier and Russman. Troy D, dorokusai and F1Nut can probably give recommendations.

Here is my Ebay feedback:
