They have now dropped to $39.99/pair.

I placed an order.

Thanks, John! Do you have some R15s?




There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Weird.

Amazing that I didn't ponder this for another day so that I could be kicking myself from one end of my house to the other!

But, I've got my e-mail confirmation though so I guess I'm good to go.

Sorry if it didn't work out for you, Harold.

Are the Polk monitor loudspeakers subject to wild discounts? Or is it only the 'R' series?

Just the R's so far. I believe they had the R30's at about $100 a pair once upon a time.

I don't have them, but a friend uses them as surrounds and I thought they were pretty decent little speakers. Definitely a steal at those prices Fry's puts them on sale now and again, so I thought I would throw it out there when I saw it. The Rs are older, and I haven't seen the Monitors go on sale like that yet. If you keep an eye on the other models in the line, Fry's seems to put random models on big discount like that from time to time as well.

That was a sweet deal. I guess it is a matter of "you snooze, you lose."

Not only that...

but I ordered just before Midnight 3-13. They shipped 3-14. And they arrived at my home 3-15.

And, that was with the cheapest shipping (ground). Came to another $13.xx

Terrific service.
