Polk Audio RM3000 Satellites

Click on Images for Full Size Pictures


These were one of the first sets of high quality 3 piece Sub Satellites systems made when the sub/sat idea became popular. The speakers had a damaged binding post when I got them, but I repaired that and they work and sound good.

They do NEED a sub-woofer to go with them. They are very well made an weight more that speakers two or three times their size. The dusk cap on one of them is dimpled, but this doesn't effect the sound at all.








Possible commercial sub-woofer suggestions:

Hsu STF-1 Sub
BIC America V-80
Polk Audio Powered 10-Inch Subwoofer
Polk Audio Powered 8-Inch Subwoofer
JBL 300 Watt Powered 10-Inch Subwoofer

Grills for Polk Monitor Model 4

These are not in perfect condition, but they are in fair condition, 8 out 10. There are minor scuffs and nicks and pulls in the grill cloth. They can't been seen from a distance of a few feet, but noticeable from 1 or 2 feet. Frames and Logo's are in great shape. Could apply new cloth if needed. And I might be able to dig some up, or point you to a cheap on-line source.

Polk Audio S6 Speakers

Click on Images for Full Size Pictures



These are Polk Audio S6 Speakers (specs on Polk Audio site), they are a good pair of speakers from 1990's. Still in great working condition. Like most Polks these are very efficient speakers so they require very little power to get to decent listening levels.



I hate to see them go, but I have more speakers than rooms in my house and need to clean out some storage space. They would sound best on stands that raise them 6 to 12 inches off of the floor.

According to Polk Site, the specs for these are as follows:

 
Tweeter 1" Diameter (2.54cm) dome tweeter
Midrange 6-1/2" Diameter (16.51cm) driver
Subwoofer 6-1/2" Diameter (16.51cm) sub bass radiator

Overall Frequency Response 30Hz - 25kHz
Lower -3dB Limit 45Hz
Upper -3dB Limit 23kHz
Nominal Impedance 8 ohms
Efficiency 91 dB

This is a lovely Antique Oak Typewriter Desk. I have had it it for many years, but have moved to a smaller place and no longer have the room for it, or the desire to continue moving it (its heavy and Solid). I have no idea how old it is, but it is not a modern knockoff. It would be great for someone looking for a nice addition to an office furnished with similar antiques.
