others on the forum will know more, but here is a place to start:

SDA SRS 1.2TL--the "big boys". The largest SDA (or speaker for that matter) Polk produced. They should also come with a 20+ft interconnect cable to run the dimensional drivers to achieve the Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA). They like good clean power and lots of it.

[heiney9]

Condition determines price but expect to pay $1600-1800.

Here is an excellent link to Polk products of that era

Retail for those were $3400/pr

Where are you located?

[imperium]

im located in victoria bc canada


heh i guess thier abit more speaker than i can afford or power currently
but just look at them how can you not desire them
such a conversation piece too

[avguytx]

Damn. Too far for me.

Russ, you wanna take a loooonnngg road trip? lol

[imperium]

i take it you guys are wanting em, you gotta hurry the auctions tomorow

[danger boy]

imperium you should go to the auction and see what they go for... i'm really curious. maybe you could snag them for less then the going rate..

[imperium]

yeah im treally thinking about it

the thing is suppose i managed to win them i have no way to get them hom (im 17 with no vehicle of my own)
and i definatly dont have the amps to power them i have 2 little 30watt sansui au555s' granted thier amazing speakers and given the chance i would probably buy another

[RuSsMaN]

Get dad's truck, or mom's suv - cut them in for 10% off the top of your sale, and you'll have plenty left over to setup a more than decent 2ch rig.

[imperium]

my parents are busy right when the auction is stupid parents
i only live like 6 blocks away from the auction place but

i cant carry both of them at the same time 1 would be hard enough thier 125 pounds :(

[danger boy]

each one weighs 185 lbs... i know..

oh well, go check out the auction anyways....

[imperium]

oh mans itle be a ****ing bitch getting em up the stairs
i guess i could call a taxi, 90% chance i go to the auction, im gonna be so bored waiting for them to come up

[Face]

That's almost like winning lotto. Best of luck bro!

[danger boy]

there used to be Canadian Polkies that were looking for SDA's. where did they go? granted this was a few years back.

[wingnut4772]

I am sure that they will hold them for you for a bit if you win.

[danger boy]

he's 17 yrs old.. i doubt he has that kind of money. but you never know.

[JimBRICK]

man those look in mint condition too

[danger boy]

yeah. to bad it's an auction.. you never how how high or how low they'll go for.. they are within 8 hours of me... but i have no funds right now for a purchase that large.

[shadowofnight]

I hope he goes to the auction and the bids are LOW...I am pulling for you :) !!!

[BaggedLancer]

wow, i wish that was local, id be breaking out the 0% interest plastic in a heartbeat

[zingo]

I can't believe I work tonight...I'm only a few hours away! Imperium, I'm sure if you ended up with those speakers, someone would be more than willing to travel up to BC and buy them off you. ;)

[engtaz]

Vacation day

[zingo]

SDA day

[BaggedLancer]

The condition looks great from the pics.

[capecodder]

Wonder what the electronics were that the owner used to drive these. Might be equally interesting??

[Face]

I wish I had the room for them. Fitting one on each side of a 56" DLP in a 10' wide room would look ridiculous.

[imperium]

well i went to the auction house the guy said thier opening at 1000
idont have the coin and im pretty dam sure they werent going for any lower

im sick so i didnt stick around to see
but thier on in an hour and a half so i could go back if i really wanted

Welcome to the Forum Imperium!

When I was 17 I first saw these 1.2TL's and it took me 20 years to buy a pair. One day I'm sure you'll get your hands on a pair ;)

Thanks Imperium, I have done work in the past with wood. Some construction. Wood Decks. Not really anything with finish quality. These are my first masterpieces ;)

Indeed, That looks like some kind of storage space auction, probably went for a more than fair price! 1.2tl's too. oof.

[zingo]

Eh, how abouts me and Vinne go puts some pressure on them guys..they tell us where they went pretty quick...
