    'mole:

    PM Ron Temple, he has/had a set for a long time. He really enjoyed them according to what I read. They are a pretty good speaker depending on price.

    They're considered by some to be one of the better speakers Polk has made, and are fairly difficult to find.

    One of my all time very favorite speakers Polk has ever produced. If you like music , older warmer sounding speakers , go grab them. If you don't like them , you can always send them here. I have a nice spot for them to live in.
    The LS90's are a speaker I will find and buy one of these days. I want to start a collection of all my favorite gear over the last 20 years. The LS90's are one of them.

    That is a damn sweet bundle. If they are in good shape, I'd go $800-$1k easy. I should add that I have $400 in my 90's and consider that be more than fair. Not a steal, but fair. The FX's alone go for nearly that.

    so im guessing the asking price of $600 for the whole setup would be a steal then. ill let you know if i get them or not

    Dude that is a CRAZY steal. Everything without the LS90s is worth that (it would be a fair price not a killer deal), but with the 90s that is insane. Run don't walk...

    SPRINT, don't walk!! The LS series is sweet. I've dad the 50's in my rig since '96. That package is beyond sweet! Always looking for some oak 90's to complete my 7.1.
