Very sexy! Many congrats!

[Knucklehead]

Wow...those are bad ass.

[danger boy]

congrats on your new SDA SRS's

[Polkersince85]

Nice looking pair of speakers. If he comes to the door with one of those masks on, run like hell.

[Fongolio]

SSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Congrats. They look to be be near mint.

[zarrdoss]

very nice, those look mint! if and when you start getting dissatisfied with them you can always upgrade the tweeters, x-overs and other mods to improve sound.

[janmike]

Congrats, very nice.

[F1nut]

Purdy.....Congrats!

[bsoko2]

A few months ago I bought a premo set of 2.3TL's for 500 and sold off my older 2.3's (had the donut drivers like yours in the pic) for 450. They are nice and did you get the interconnect cable with them?

Bill

[Vette C6.r]

THANKS GUYS !!!! No mention of inter. cable. But heck a few more bucks ain't gonna hurt at this point. Judging from the condition I'm sure they do but he just forgot to mention it.


+ 1 on the masks polksince.

Are the donut driver an improvment on the "regular" drivers ????

You don't see these that often so I am not familar with those drivers.

[Vette C6.r]

I was so excited I couldn't even spell "believe" correct

[wayne3burk]

quoted from his eBay add

"I also have the SDA cable that connects between the speakers"

I'm sure they're gonna sound sweet -- what are you gonna use to push them?

I am way too excited to read at this point

[OldmanSRS]

Sweet. They look brand new. What's with the donut in two of the mw's?

[Vette C6.r]

Not sure OLDMAN. Hopefully someone can help on that one.

[anton.chigurh]

Nice!

[shadowofnight]

Congrats....those look great :D

I have their twin pair here ( Pic was at the house of the ladies I got them from...they bought em new...played for a few hours...decided they were too big for the room decor...put back in boxes and stored away in a spare bedroom :confused: ...they didnt need the money and they were too big to return ) .

He mentions he has the cable for you in the ebay ad.....mine also came with some special literature stating their design and how they function...if you want copies pm me your address. It goes into detail what driver is working at what frequency and why they designed it that way....really cool stuff.

The donut driver was on the 2.3's (yours) but they did away with it in the 2.3tl's. Polk felt they had too much midrange and added the donut drivers (MW6513). These are just for lower bass.

[shadowofnight]

mid/bass frequencies.....

they look new,congrats!

[stubby]

Congrats!! I saw those and couldn't believe how nice they looked. I'm sure you will enjoy them.

stubby

[chandler9a]

Congrats! I have the same pair in my basement that my dad bought new in the late 80's and can't wait to make the upgrades.

What are you going to power them with? As you probably already know, they like clean high current power.

Enjoy!

[TNRabbit]

Beautiful~

[dpowell]

Awesome! Enjoy them!

[TNTsTunes]

Wow nice speakers.

You just gotta love the specs. :D

13 1/8 feet x 20 5/8 feet x 55 feet

nice typo ;)

Good eye TNT. I believe they used something called a "typewritter" back then . I had to Google it. Never heard of that technology before.

LOL. I am at a kid at Christmas. I should put my "days till 2.3's" calender up.

[TNTsTunes]

I bet you can't wait to be able to hear them, touch them and feel them work their voodoo.

[BobMcG]

Tell me about it.

I mean come on... SDA???

What's that supposed to stand for? Signal Destroying Arrangement ? :rolleyes:

Talk to me Goose.

[MillerLiteScott]

Awesome Tony. As Mark said when I bought some SDA's.

You crossed the line.

Scott:D

[Vette C6.r]

Scott, I can't sleep. I feel like I drank 10 cups of coffee. I am sure that when they are "in the house" it will be worse.

I guess I should get a 2nd mortgage out now ???

[TNRabbit]

Just in time for your get together!

[Vette C6.r]

Indeed Rabbit.


Are these "donuts" ( there has got to be a better word for them ) passive or active mid-bass drivers ???????

[TNTsTunes]

Indeed Rabbit.

Active drivers, they produce bass from 200hz and lower.

[treitz3]

In please! Sweet Karma... :D

[maxchau]

Congrat....on the new pair...

[Fongolio]

Scott, I can't sleep. I feel like I drank 10 cups of coffee. I am sure that when they are "in the house" it will be worse.

Exactly how I felt the night before the road trip to pick up my 1C's from Geoff727 in Seattle.

[Tower Boss]

Congratulations, that was a great price on those. I could swear that when I first looked at that listing, he was asking more for them. I can tell you, if you have never had a chance to listen to a pair of these big boys, you are in for a treat! What ever you do, sell blood or a kidney first, before you contemplate selling these. You will only come to regret it if you do.

I should know, as I had owned both SDA-SRS's and SRS-1.2TL's when I was in the Army. Of course, I ended up selling all my gear to my buddies when I became a civilian in '92. Fortunately, I have been able to relive those bygone days of my youth by being able to reacquaint myself with the beloved SDA series. It took me 18 years, but I finally got some back in the house, currently SDA-1's and SRS-3.1TL's.

Regards,
Mike

[Vette C6.r]

Cool story Tower. Always good to hear the stories behind the speakers. They are in the house as we speak. I have to do some re-arranging but they are sounding sweet.

Nice first post.

Welcome to the forum.

Congrats Tony!!! I know how you are feeling, When i won my auction for my 1.2tl's I couldn't sleep at all the night before I was going to pick them up!!!

I wanted those speakers since I was 17 years old!!!

Maybe you should order some new Caps & Resistors and while you have Jesse and the rest of us guys at your place we should upgrade those crossovers!

The default Tweeters to upgrade to are the RD0-194's but Jesse may know if they can be upgraded to RD0-198's. I do not know this.

Congrats Again!!!, Very Happy for you!!! They look Awesome!!!!

Welcome to the Forum Tower Boss & Congrats on getting some SDA's back in the House!!!

[Vette C6.r]

Thanks Sal. Very nice words. The RDO-194's are on the way. I have to wait on the XO's. My checking account keeps yelling at me, I don't think he is very happy with me right now.

At least you are lucky that your checking acct is a he, mine is a she!!! ARRGHHHH!!!!!

[Tower Boss]

Hey, thanks for the welcome guys. I've lurked here for years, but could not bring myself to register until I was a bona fide Polkie again. I plan on completing mods on both of my pair in the near future.
