Hi Folks,
I have been a CP member for more than a year now and haven't racked up to many posts so far. Seems like I tend to read a lot of posts in an effort to learn as much as possible about the Polk speakers I have come to love.
Originally, I had my eyes set on picking up some used 2.3TL's. That was until Mike Reeter told me he had a couple of 1C's for sale. So an eight hour trip later and a brief visit with Mike and his wife about a year ago, I was the proud owner of the 1C's with upgraded xovers. While I wasn't initially looking at 1C's, I have to say I have been really impressed, as it sounds like a number of people on CP have been, with the 1C's.
While I was at Mike's house picking up the 1C's, he was kind enough to demo his SDA SRS 2.3TL's. They were very nice in all the ways you could imagine. So, for the past year, I have been watching all the electronic sales sites for a chance add to my Polk collection. Fast forward to last week when I saw a Craigslist add selling two "Polk 2B SDA SRS" speakers was how the add read. The picture in the add didn't look like 2B's and I was thinking 2.3's of some type? So I ended up on CP and PolkSDA.com doing some research. I discovered they were SDA SRS 2.3's. I emailed the seller for more information and arranged a chance to hear and look them over.
The picture in the add looked pretty rough and in person, they were pretty dirty. The grill and side cloth was dusty and dirty but no tears. The tops had some scratches and water marks, but the cabinets were solid, no air leaks, and all the drivers worked. I wanted to make sure the dimensional drivers were working because I saw a post by F1 saying he wasn’t sure if the dimensional drivers with the donuts were available anymore?
I’ll continue in a reply to this post…..:)
