Speakers are now SOLD!
I hope this isn't in violation of the rules of this forum since I am not 100% sure I will be selling, but I am seriously considering parting with my RT5000 system. This is the complete package of RT3000 fronts, a CS1000 center and fx1000s rears. They are all in very good condition with the following caveats:
1. The sub amp in the right RT3000 has recently required service. This has been fixed by Polk and is running again at 100%.
2. The binding post on one of the fx1000s broke. Since I was not doing any biamping or biwiring, a friend of mine who does audio work for a living soldered the plate between the two posts. Shouldn't affect SQ and isn't a problem unless you are biamping/biwiring the rears.
Rosewood finish and in all other areas excellent condition and working perfectly. I am the original owner and bought these back in 2001 from CC. I think I still have the receipts if desired for proof of purchase.
I would strongly prefer local pickup, especially for the RT3000s, as they will be difficult to ship. Also, I am still trying to come up with a fair polkie price for the speakers (if anyone who isn't interesting in them has suggestions, they are welcome :)). I am by no means trying to make a killing here, but I would also like to get a reasonable value as the impetus for selling these is to upgrade to the LSI series. I would gladly consider trades on LSI 15s, LSI C or LSI fxs.
Anyway, I guess I'd like to gauge what level of interest there may be in these items. I'd like to have some level of confidence in moving these speakers before I pull the trigger on the LSI 15s.
I will try to provide pictures later tonight.
