Iteachstem Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hello all, I am selling a unique pair of speakers. They have an interesting history as well. (see link below) Basically, they are built by Polk Audio and were designed by Arnie Nudell from Infinity. They are in overall excellent condition: All drivers are in perfect 10/10 condition. The speaker grills show no signs or ware, snags, etc. 10/10 The cabinets are an 8/10 due to their age and are very presentable. These speakers have 7 drivers each creating an amazing sound-stage. The are dipole, and you can chose to turn off the back firing drivers if you wish. They seem to be direct competition to the Definite Technology designs but with 2 10" front firing woofers each instead of single side firing ones. There is a ton of info online about their history and sound quality. https://www.psaudio.com/askpaulvideo/the-story-behind-eosone-speakers/ I removed the amps, as one was not working when I bought them and I could not easily find another one at the time. So, I created filler plates out of 3/4 birch and inserted quality banana plug binding posts so that you can use a high quality external amp to drive the 10" woofers. (Much better option anyway!) For an extra $100 I will include a Definitive Technology Powerfield external subwoofer amp that drives the 10" woofers very well to create a balanced system. You can also use your processor set up to drive an external amp of your choice as well. I will demo so that you can verify everything works perfectly. I may even have some bourbon to sip on while you listen! I am a teacher, so I can usually do any time after 4 during the week and usually most weekends. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I'm asking $450 for members ($550 w/amp) Location 60511 Far Western Burb of Chicago For those of you who don't know me, I have been a speaker enthusiast since junior high when I built my first set of speakers from random speaker parts I bought from my neighbors garage sale! I love both playing and listening to music. I enjoy buying different speakers and hearing how they sound. I also like to refinish/repair/upgrade if necessary and bring them back to looking and sounding wonderful again. However, through the years, I have amassed more speakers than my growing family can handle, so I have a new policy of "one in and one out"....with the speakers, not the kids!

PittDoctorG Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 I have the version 1 (with external heat sink) but amp appears to be out in one of the units. It's not the connection because I connected via line and also speaker-level. With line-level, I have it daisy-chained to the left unit and the left unit works (the end of the daisy chain). I checked and the fuse looks intact. I assume this is something I can't hire someone in Pittsburgh to do for me. Frustrating! Any advice would be appreciated. I'm moving them from an unused room to a new home theater we're building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted September 3, 2024 Author Share Posted September 3, 2024 You can use an external amp for these. However, I wouldn't recommend using these for home theater. It's a waste for left and right front speakers in a home theater setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
