Personally I like the 15's much more than the 25's.

With that being said - if you have a large room and an understanding wife, I would go with the TL's in a heartbeat. (although personally I really like the SRS's more - Don't know why....)

Not if you're already an owner of big Polk's. ;)

[RuSsMaN]

The 1.2's are overrated.

A pair of SRS 2, or CRS+ will do all the SDA magic the big boys will, if not better in most rooms. The 2.3's are as big as I would ever go.

Cheers,

Hey Russ,

I'm holding onto my CRS+ speaks until they'll fetch 3Gs. :cool:












BTW: How long do you think that'll be? :confused:

:p :D

That's not the record price, it's about the norm.

These TL's were for sale in an area of the country where they're harder to find. Plus they were in pristine condition$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. They would have gone for a lot less in Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, California, Connecticut, and New York. They would have gone for even more in Tennessee where I am. And they were sold here at Hi Fi Buy's. So I know they're here SOMEWHERE????. But nobody's selling :confused:

How true how true.

is that price more than what they sold for new?

$3400. was retail new,that's very close to new price.

Not really. Not when you account for inflation. That $3400 price is from 1989. $3400 in 1989 dollars is equivalent to $5800 in 2007 dollars. From that perspective, $3050 for what appear to be mint condition 1.2TL's was a good deal.

Not accounting for inflation, the price paid seems high, because $3050 is 89.7% of the 1989 MSRP. However, $3050 is only 52.5% of the equivalent 2007 MSRP. Another way to look at it is to equate $3050 in 2007 dollars to an equivalent amount in 1989 dollars, which is $1788.

O.K. then that's about half price:D Damn good deal I'd say

Not to one up you here, but I dont remember ever seeing another pair of sda srs 1.2 tls in alaska even though im sure there are a few out there besides mine here. The biggest reason I think is simply due to there size that not many people brought them when they moved here and considering the population of the entire state is only a lil over 500k people not that big of an audiophile base here.

I consider being able to own a pair of them here is like winning the lottery, the odds are pretty slim and I am very fortunate. That and the fact is when I bought them I had no Idea what they were worth or even what they were for that matter other than polks, so I stole them for $600.00

I feel ashamed now because I was thinking of offering this poor guy $500.00 for them.
