want to trade up to 1.2TL's?

[nooshinjohn]

I am reluctantly :(offering my 1.2 tls for sale or trade. My wife wants them out for now, but assures me that I can get another pair when we move on to a bigger place:). I am very interested in the 2.3TL's or the SRS 2. I am offering my TL's for 2100.00 and must be picked up, as shipping these monsters would be a nightmare. The speakers are as prettey as they come have already been upgraded to the RDO-198's, which alone are worth 400.00.

Sonically they are in perfect condition and come with the original interconnect and spike kit. Cosmetically they don't get any cleaner than these. See the attached pictures...

I have installed Larry's custom crossover plates, but still have the originals in near mint condition as well. They will be included with the sale. The price I am asking is what I have in them, and does not include the cost of travel to northern Michigan to get them.

Please PM me with all offers/trade considerations.

[Toolfan66]

John sorry to hear that. If you guys plan on moving I say keep them you know how hard it is to get them close to home sometimes.

[nooshinjohn]

I know... but peace is worth more than gasoline to go get another pair. I really hope to keep them in the family here at Polk. Hopefully someone will have a set of 2.3 tls that will fit where I need them to and I will be just fine.

[Toolfan66]

The 2.3's are not that much smaller, Maybe you need to find a set of 1C's

[Mike Reeter]

Not to dump on your thread,but,I'm sure you're aware that the 2.3's and the SRS 2's are not a whole lot smaller than what you have now.

Same width,same depth,just a little shorter.

Good luck on your sale

[leroyjr1]

+1 the 2.3tls are still huge. If she didn't like the 1.2's then she's not going to like the 2.3's. Look at the 3.1tl's small in size but bigger than your old 1c's and they sound fantastic.( trust me I know:D).

Hope everything works out.

[nooshinjohn]

3.1TL's it is... we just got done measuring things out and they are the ones that will work best. Nice thing is I can run them as surrounds when we get a bigger place.

[leroyjr1]

Now the hard part finding a pair...

[nooshinjohn]

Now the hard part finding a pair... Wanna trade?:p

[megasat16]

Sorry to hear man! It's such a pain. I knew you went through a great trouble to get them and you were so happy when you went to get them. I wish your wife would allow you to keep them.

As a last resort before selling or trading, give her a candle light dinner while 1.2tls are playing some romantic tunes and ask her for a dance in the living room after the dinner. She might change her mind about those ugly things. :D

[shadowofnight]

Now the hard part finding a pair...

A short drive..... Minneapolis.... http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/1331814475.html


Had 2 pair come up here in CA in the 300 to 500 range though..... http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79434

These are the famous vintage Polk Audio flagship speakers that originally listed for $2000/pair. I am the original owner and love these speakers.
There are very few speakers on the market that have the accurate sound and full range of these floor standing models. They are still in like NEW condition and the only reason I am selling them is I need to downsize my audio room.

[leroyjr1]

Sorry to hear you've gotta get rid of them, John. I know how much you were liking them.

Wanna trade for a pair of 2A's?:p

[nooshinjohn]

thanks for the options guys, but need to find something closer, and will only consider TL's as trades....

Ironically, that's exactly what he had before.

[nooshinjohn]

I loved the 1C's, but the TL's are in another category all together, IMHO...

[Lasareath]

I suggest finding a new woman

[cfrizz]

I suggest getting a much bigger house.

And next time discussing it with her before hand so you don't have to go through all this hassle.

Yes she would still have said no, but then you could have saved time, trouble, money, and probably a cranky wife who came home to see those monstrosities in her living room!

And before someone quotes the BS about easier to ask forgiveness, there won't be any of that either until the speakers are out of the house!

[restanim]

nooshinjohn,
I have a pair of 1C's in oak with the RDO tweeters. Interested?

[Retro152]

Sorry to hear John. Good luck with the Sale.

[comfortablycurt]

Ok...how about a trade for a 1990 Firebird? It runs great, but it needs a new ignition module at the moment. The body is real clean...the interior could use a little bit of work.


j/k:p;)


In all seriousness though, I'd just refuse to get rid of them. She'll get used to them.

That's just me though. To each their own.

I think Zarrdoss (Kevin) needs a road trip. and he can sell me his 2.3tls. :)

Come on out to Washington state with them and you can go home with a set of 2.3's.

Now let me get this straight....you want to trade for tl's??? So....if I drive over there with my pair of 3.1tl's, I get to drive back with 1.2 tl's, correct??

Thanks for the input Cathy, but I must ask why men need to ask permission before we so much as fart, but women can shop til they drop and show us all the stuff they bought. I do not complain or protest in the least. I buy just one major purchase a year that takes up just 5 square feet of combined floor space, and she gets the entire walk-in closet. My clothes are in a small closet in the guest bedroom...

[daboyz]

OK, so you folk w/out wives or the muy macho types say he should keep them and screw her. Priced the amount for divorce lately? Being married is give and take and if I remember right he bought them while she was gone. To spend that kind of coin w/out
the other one knowing takes balls period. Suicidal if you ask me.

My wife wasn't in love with the 1C's in the great room so now they're in the basement.
Cheaper to keep her.;)

If it's his money he can buy whatever he wants. He's a grown man he shouldn't have to get permission to spend his own money. Next thing you know she's going to start giving him an allowance. :eek:

John I have a spare bed room. We could rock out together.:cool:

[daboyz]

It's not HIS money when you're married,it's YOU'RE money. As much as men would like to think that it's your money it's just wrong. Throw in kids and then it's really different.

So John,if it's worth it then maybe his spare bedroom would be a good place to spend your life.

[Toolfan66]

I guess I am lucky, She gave me some hassle but not because of the speakers but my new obsession with audio in general.

I have the HT in the basement (A9's) 1.2tl's in the livingroom and the 1C's in the bedroom.

I for one am not saying screw her, but she also needs to let John be happy with his wants and needs. Your only given one life to live.

[daboyz]

Sorry my friend but speakers are not needs,they're wants.

[leroyjr1]

He stated she buys whatever she wants, he should be able to do the same. Maybe I'm just too young to understand.

John if she makes you sell them tell her she has to give you SOME every night for the rest of the year. That sounds like a good deal to me. Anyways good luck on the sale.

[Toolfan66]

That is why I said "wants and needs", and my statment is not just about speakers but life in general.

[daboyz]

If you read into his statement about the size of his speakers and his lack of closet space then I would say that there is a deeper issue than the speakers. You don't have to be old to understand that.

I would like to make an offer. PM sent.

John, my wife will trade her mint 2.3tls for your 1.2s, she has been bitching they are smaller than my srs ever since I got them. These are MINT with rdo198 and we are 500 miles away, you will never be happy with 3.1 tls once you have had the big boys. If you want to meet halfway we could do it Sunday, Mike Reeter can vouch for there condition. Let me know.

[gdb]

If I might suggest, place them with a trusted friend on long-term loan, or rent a self storage unit, or move them to the basement and set up a "mancave". If all else fails, you might want to look at some SDA2Bs with the intention of doing the "TL" upgrade on them. I have a pair of them in the studio version which have the flat fabric grille and the small plinth/pedestal at the bottom,they're the smallest SDA there is (I think). As far as the wife factor...Mine says that the studio 1As that are in the living room now are too large, and that my pin/blade SRS2s will never be permitted in there! I sure will miss her.......maybe.:D Good luck finding some 3.1s they seem to be very scarce.:)

[comfortablycurt]

I can definitely see your point about giving up the 1.2TL's being a better option than divorce, but marriage should also be an equal opportunity thing. When you get married you're agreeing to be with the particular person...and everything that comes with it. There should be a compromise of some type.

If one of the things that came with your spouse is a crazy hobby that involves humongous speakers...then so be it. It's something that should be put up with.

Like John said, his wife has a huge walk in closet full of clothes...most of which I'm sure have been worn a time or two at most. Meanwhile, his clothes get relegated to a small closet in the spare bedroom.

This is a sacrifice that John has made in support of his wifes hobby.

Yes, the 1.2TL's are some big speakers, but it's not as if he's got a couple of cars parked in the living room. They're 21" wide and 13" deep...that's really not a ton of floor space.

John has expressed on the forum numerous times how he absolutely loves these speakers...and how they've completely changed the way he listens to, enjoys and experiences music. They've obviously brought him a lot of enjoyment in the short time he's had them.

For his wife to insist that he HAS to get rid of them, strikes me as being a bit unfair.

I'm not married, for the record. If/when I am though, I won't put up with a wife that tried to get in-between me and my hobbies. Compromise is one thing, this is quite another though.

Just my $.02

[Conradicles]

Keep the speakers and the wife. Just say no. She will get over it.

I love how half the people giving advice here are single.

[jerryj12]

I am sitting here smiling as I read this. I have been married twice.
I see it like this.

If momma ain't happy, nobody is happy.:D

Good luck with your sale.

[nooshinjohn]

Thanks for the support and the advice... the wife stays however and the speakers will find a great home. I will get another pair someday, but she is irreplaceble. I have responded to three offers via PM

I will soon be replacing an oversized pair of FX500i surrounds 'cause I know the better half was never happy with them in the living room.

Good on ya for putting her before yourself... recipe for success, IMO.

[BIZILL]

well, if she's a keeper, then yeah, do as she asks. not as she TELLS. but do as she asks. if she were a keeper, she wouldn't be TELLING you to do anything.

another thing to try is have her read this thread and let her see your sincerety and point out there are those who give advice to "let her go and keep the speakers" (in a sell-out polkie members to kiss her butt) (and of course, block out my post somehow) and let her see you're willing to do as she asks. perhaps she'll be suaded to let you keep 'em.

...oh, and be prepared to have to let her buy something of equal value you may not like her to have.

I am reluctantly :(offering my 1.2 tls for sale or trade. My wife wants them out for now, but assures me that I can get another pair when we move on to a bigger place:).

Sonically they are in perfect condition and come with the original interconnect and spike kit. Cosmetically they don't get any cleaner than these. See the attached pictures...

I have installed Larry's custom crossover plates, but still have the originals in near mint condition as well. They will be included with the sale. The price I am asking is what I have in them, and does not include the cost of travel to northern Michigan to get them.

Please PM me with all offers/trade considerations.

John

Don't Get Rid Of Them nooshinjohn. You just can't. They are just way too valuable. There has got to be a way for you to hang onto them......

Just concerned about you nooshinjohn.------B.B.3

[cfrizz]

John if she ran out of closet space & started to hang her clothes all over the livingroom & started encroaching on YOUR closet would you have a problem with it? I know I would.

It's about shared living space. It's not totally about the amount of space they take up, it's also about how they look in that space. Basically you are forcing YOUR hobby down her & any guests you may have over throats.

You don't NEED SDA's to have a quality sound system, you WANT them because they are big & ostentatious as well as sound good. But you WANT to have something to boast about with these speakers.

There's nothing wrong with that, (when you have your own separate room to do so in.

I never said anything about asking permission, I said discussing it with her since the decision also impacted her. Anything that impacts the BOTH of you should be discussed.

If her clothes shopping is putting a financial hardship on BOTH of you, then it should be discussed. If it isn't, then there is nothing to talk about. You can't wear her clothes & they aren't visible for all to see when guests walk into your home.

Your apples to oranges comparison just doesn't wash & we both know it.

I have told this story before - 3.5 years ago I wanted some tower speakers for my big screen and was told NO. My wife is big on working things out via a marriage counselor (married 41 years) so that's where we ended up with this. Hey, she was made to see reason and I ended up with 250 per month to spend how I want and I did get my speakers and then some. So John, try this route and I think that in the end your marriage will be much richer for it.

Bill

[megasat16]

Come on, ladies and gents....Let's leave the personal things and discussions between John and his beloved wife for this matter. I think this thread is started to sound like battle of the sexes!

John, I guess your wife allows you to have smaller SDA is still a nice thing.

You're a grown ass man with an allowance. LMAO..

[McLoki]

The better the wife - the worse the trade in value.... (Ironic but true)

Their speakers - you purchased something that regardless or floor space - will be a focal point in whatever room they are in - and without asking her opinion.

If you came home and the living room was hot pink - you would probably be pissed and it would not stay that color for long. This is really not that much different. She didn't say no - she said not now. i.e. - They can come back when they can fit in our house and I don't have to look at them if I don't want to. (and my friends won't say what the hell do you have coffins in your living room for)

Man up - you took a gamble and lost. You got a few weeks with your dream speaker and at least now you know what you want. (1 up on me - I still am not sure) You can get the big SDA's almost anytime - the peace you will have between now and then will be worth it. (and if you get the 2.3's without mentioning they are much larger than the 3.1's she agreed to - you will be selling those soon too)

Good luck and as for the advice of those who are not married - follow it if their marital status is what you are going for....

What does you having purple hearts and tours to Nam have to do with you getting an allowance. My point is a marriage/relationship is 50/50.

Jerry said earlier a happy woman is a happy marriage. Shouldn't it be a happy couple is a happy marriage. Just my thought but really doesn't matter as every household is different. Mine is 50/50.



I done

nice setup BTW.

[kawizx9r]

I'm getting those ;):cool:.

Not to crap on anything Esavinon but those 3.1's have been posted over and over again on another thread. A polk forum member was supposed to pick them up but got a flat on the way there, seller decided to post them up on ebay for sell again. This was like +1month ago or so, seeing them on again....somethings going on.

John, you'll find another pair man. I do get where others say you should be entitled to what you want (to a certain extent) but these purchases were made without her consent. Although it sucks I DO believe she should reconsider what shes asking of you, but if you end up selling/trading them I hope you find another pair later in the future.

No, that wasn't your point! Your point is that you can spend what you want without her input, and just how does she feel about that. In a relationship if you both work it is "our" money and it should be discussed who gets to spend what. An allowance is a fair way to go for all parties. What you have doesn't sound like a 50/50 relationship to me or anyone else. And thanks for the setup comment, 250 a month goes along way.

Bill

[joeparaski]

If I would have limited myself to $250 a month for toys I would have been better off financially today. My wife tolerates my audio habit but I know she doesn't really like it when I spend thousands and thousands of dollars on it over the years.....I should have done the roof on the house....I should have painted the rooms.....I should have redone the bathroom.....there's lots of other things I should have done rather than spend on audio gear.

I really don't deserve her and I know I have gone too far with gear....I mean come on, do I really need 8 amplifiers??

All this to say than an "allowance", for lack of a better word, is a good idea if you can't control your spending....like me.

Joe

[bsoko2]

Joe - this hobby is our "crack". We can justify alot of things just to get that right sound and visual effect. What does it do for us, bragging rights, awe from our fellow audio crackheads, and a busted wallet later in life. No, the 250 per month was just right for me.

Bill

[cfrizz]

Shack, I think there were probably a whole lot of other issues going on not just the speakers that sent them to counseling. This might simply have been the straw that broke the camel back as it were.

Regardless, they worked it out & are stronger and happier for it & that is all that matters in the end.

Congrats on 34 years of marriage. I bet you've done your share of compromising over the years.:)


I dunno...the day my wife suggests we go to a marriage counselor over a pair of speakers is the day we both need to seriously think about being single. :rolleyes:

[nooshinjohn]

I agree that this hobby is as adictive as they come. I also agree that compromise is best. But Cathy... to call the 1.2TL's ugly:eek:, well thats just over the line:p They are the most beautful speaker to look at IMHO, and they are among the best ever made for listening. But I guess beauty is in teh eye of the beholder:rolleyes:.

:D Oh well, don't feel too bad, I saw some even worse looking B & Ws once. that had the SDAs beat by a mile!:eek:

Have you thought about just using your LSI 15's as fronts?

I will be... I think even the LSi25's will be to big for her taste as they are deeper than the TL's by about 7 inches. She has agreed to hear the LSi15's in a side by side comparision test to the TL's and if she can tell an appreciable difference in sound quality between the two... well I might just get lucky. She is impressed by how quickly I posted them for sale and by the comments made here by all, so she is fully aware of what I have now and the merits of owning them. I am hesitant to call it a softening of her position, but we shall see.

cathy, i love ya baby, but it's always gotten weird seeing the quotations at the bottom of your replies. can i get an amen?

[ckphoto]

John, why don't you just put them in storage or let one of the friends you have made here keep them safe until you move. If the money spent on them is not the issue, that is what I would do because of how hard they are to find and the work you have already done to them.

Good Luck

Oh good grief!:mad: When I first started posting I DID do it this way & people said I did it backwards! MAKE UP YOUR FRICKIN MINDS ALREADY!!!:rolleyes::confused:

which way is it supposed to be? If there isn't a concensus I'm going to do it any way I want!

[hearingimpared]

Easy does it there Cath. I always post the quote first then my reply but you are free to do it whatever way pleases you.:);)

Well Joe I have learned a lot from you guys & I thank you. BUT you guys can give any woman competition when it comes to being fickle!

I learned about separate amplification or ie "Man Amps" from you guys when I first came on here. Then the whole lot of you decided that scrawny little tube amps were the bomb & went & started trying to talk anyone that would listen into getting them!

You guys are always changing your minds over EVERYTHING! Is it any wonder I get confused?:p

Well I only have one thing to say in response . . . Tubes Rules!!!:D:p

[megasat16]

By all means, I am not an expert in the forum etiquette but I think the correct way of using quotes is -

At the top before the replies if you are quoting as a response to someone

At the bottom if your quote is not a response to anyone in particular but using quote as a Reference / Proof, etc.

I may be wrong and known to be wrong. But that's how I usually use quotes.

ummm... this was a for sale /trade thread:confused:;)

That should have been said 83 post ago.

Sorry!

[JohnLocke88]

It's not HIS money when you're married,it's YOU'RE money. As much as men would like to think that it's your money it's just wrong. Throw in kids and then it's really different.

So John,if it's worth it then maybe his spare bedroom would be a good place to spend your life.

I'm never getting married... Or I'm keeping a seperate apartment for myself... just in case

I am reminded of Home Alone: "When I grow up and get married, I'M LIVING ALONE!"

On that happy note, good luck with your A/B demo. I hope your 1.2TL's win. :D

[JohnLocke88]

EDIT: For sale thread, no more off topic for me.

John

you might want to start a new thread

I will create a new F/S or trade thread...
just as soon as she makes up her mind:p She has suggested that I turn our guest room into a man cave!:D

[comfortablycurt]

just as soon as she makes up her mind:p She has suggested that I turn our guest room into a man cave!:D


Woohooo!!!! That sounds like the BEST plan to me. She get's her living room back, and you get a man cave!

I hope that works out for you John. I'd hate to see you lose those 1.2TL's...especially before I get a chance to come out there and get my ears on them.:cool:

[nooshinjohn]

It does sound like the best solution, but I need to stick to my guns and try and keep them in the living room, as I would still need to part with them due to the size of the room they would be coming to. It will be far to small for them to breathe. As it is they are in the smallest room possible for them to work as they should. I have them plaing her favorite music all day long and she has started to hear just how good they are even when you are not in the room with them.

would you really sell your Ferarri if you could only drive it 65?

[ESavinon]

Not to crap on anything Esavinon but those 3.1's have been posted over and over again on another thread. A polk forum member was supposed to pick them up but got a flat on the way there, seller decided to post them up on ebay for sell again. This was like +1month ago or so, seeing them on again....somethings going on.

John, you'll find another pair man. I do get where others say you should be entitled to what you want (to a certain extent) but these purchases were made without her consent. Although it sucks I DO believe she should reconsider what shes asking of you, but if you end up selling/trading them I hope you find another pair later in the future.

Thanks for the heads up.

[nooshinjohn]

would you really sell your Ferarri if you could only drive it 65?no... but at least I could drive it. And when I cannot drive it, at least looking at it would give me a hard-on;)

Hello John, Just joined...looking for 1.2tl speakers. Still available? Let me know. Thanks, Sandy

LOL

Thank you, this thread was fun to read. Although it makes me never want to get married lol.

[SolidSqual]

John any other SDAs you get are still going to be big and ugly. Your wife will still not like them and you will have traded down to a lesser pair.

IMO, you need to go outside Polk to some nicely finished Monitors and perhaps a well-hidden and musical sub if you are going to please your wife.

Totem, ACI, Dynaudio monitor?
REL, Martin Logan sub?
