*sigh

I want to buy these so bad.
I won't though because I live in a college house with 3 other guys and I know they'd end up getting desroyed. I can't wait to have my own apartment once my lease runs out.

Available in black and cherry (same price) FYI

 

[Wag]

Don't be surprised if you get used goods, or something completely different if you order from Outpost.

that's pretty cheap for the speakers, plus shpping starts at $5, should i pull the trigger on a pair? i currently have a pair of kenwood bookshelfs that came with my home hteatre in a box


Good Reviews

i've got these as my surrounds. they're fine for that.

Is everyone sure that's for a pair?

Watch out for the wording on this, its very popular with speaker sales

"Polk Audio R30 Cherry
Two-Way Floor-Standing Loudspeaker"

Keyword: loudspeaR (one speaker)

Its an 'ok' deal even then but you can find the same exact speakers in bookshelf model (same driver/tweeter) for $89 pair ive seen them before, just paying for more wood slightly more bass do to volume

 

[JohnDoh]

Oh I didnt see you put $120 in topic, nm

 

[Talksmartz]

Speakers are on backorder - FYI

I bought some Polk Monitor 30 bookshelf speakers and wanted to eventually upgrade and get some floor standing and use the monitor 30's as rear speakers, but i dont know if these speakers are going to compliment the monitors very well, any comments? I almost bought the R15's from fry's when they were $50 but the salesman sold me on the monitors which where $125 and i am very happy he did.

The salesman did well for you. Seriously, the monitors are some very good speakers for their price. Personally, I'm in a higher price/quality category for speakers. I won't mind owning some Polk SDA's (reference floor standers circa '86), but those are hard to find, even on ebay (but then again they were a STEAL at the $2600 pricetag then, and are only more valuable now if they are in good condition). I'll have to just live with my setup of Onix Rockets, 1 pair RS1000's, 2 pair RS750's and RSC200 for the center channel. I use these for my computer as well. All I can say is absolutely awesome sound, but then again $7k worth of speakers ought to sound good

The monitors are still very good in their price range. Like I said, the salesman pointed you in the right direction.

Yeah I think he did as well, I'm very happy with them. I've been getting more and more picky about sound actually. I just got my first headphone amp and I have a pair of Ety ER-4S headphones along with my ipod and man i cant tell you how much of a difference the amp makes. Its crazy to think i carry around just under a thousand dollars with of audio equipment, but i've seen guys with 2 and 3k worth of stuff in a tiny little bag. some of these guys buy special cables that are no longer than a foot (interconnect) and they cost anywhere from $100 to $200
