After semi-hijacking another thread I thought I should branch off and try to collect more opinions about these two speaker sales.
If you've responded in the other posts, no need to duplicate things, but I'm still interested in more ideas about these deals.

Knowing right now that I have Polk Monitor 60's and a CS2, running on a Pioneer 920 (which isn't likely to change in the near future), I'm interested in a solid upgrade in speaker quality. HT is my main use, and I'm mainly interested in improved clarity as it pertains to the front stage imaging.

Deal one is this:
http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/ele/2139598990.html
http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/ele/2139611047.html

I've already gotten a price at $800 and may be able to get him a bit lower. Advantages here are that I can listen to them before hand, and they may be a bit higher model than the next set.

Deal two is this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Cheaper, but I would need to buy stand so the price probably wouldn't be that difference in the end. Also, it may just expire and repost later at a reduced price? Not sure if these are noticeably different than the 716's from Craigslist.

Both sets seem to be in good condition, at least at first glance.
So, there you have it...whatever any of you know about the specific models would be appreciated. I just don't know if the $800 is a deal I shouldn't pass up, for example.

Thanks a bunch.
