Nice, too bad they don't ship to POs :(

And too bad I already have tons of (mostly old) electronics taking up all the space in my dorm room! :D

In for two... I needed some small towers for my new setup in my bedroom, so this works out great. Hope they sound as good as everyone says.

The link is good but the shipping may not do it for me as it charges $32 gnd. I wonder in store B&M or Fry's would honor the same price since I live 5 min from them. This deal makes me sick by looking the picture and the price . How the heck someone make money on this deal? You may say who cares but I'm just curious?

Anyone know of a cheap subwoofer I can add to make a cheap home theater system? I'm a complete noob when it comes to speakers.

Well I hope these are a good value...I ordered a pair earlier today on impulse. I plan on using as part of an existing home theater setup....already have a powered sub. They looked great for the price and this application. But also echoing the same question posed earlier, how do they make a profit on this?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

MrToilet, Nice find. Just ordered a pair. S&H was $25.25, but still a good deal.

Center channel speakers almost NEVER go on sale! I've been waiting for four months and OUTPOST.com finally had a Polk center on sale for $69 about two weeks ago. And it wasn't on sale for long and they are still backordered. (Fry's B&M has them on sale frequently, but no Fry's stores down here in Florida.)

I just ordered a Fluance center for $70:

Sounds terrific! Not quite as cheap as the speakers in this post, but still a pretty good deal for a nice center.

i've been looking for a center channel as well but it seems like the only one that can fit on top of my tv is the csi5 because it has a kickstand, any other centers have this that are cheaper cause the csi5 always goes for 399.

It looks like Fry's B&M has the Polk R15's for 39.99/pair and the R50's for 79.99/pair with today as the last day. I'm thinking about picking up two pairs of 15's for the rear's and front & rear center in a 6.1 setup, then the dayton sub. I only have to decide if I'd rather order the R30's for $80+$43 ship + tax or just get the R50's at Fry's.
