Check out My New SDA's

[Lasareath]

Hello All,

I am the new Proud owner of a pair of Polk SDA 2C's

I will be picking them up on Monday or Tuesday Night and I will eventually redo the crossovers and upgrade them to use rdo198's.

I will post some pictures when I pick them up and bring them home.

I like them, they cool, but I was trying to bid on them!

[F1nut]

Ummmmm......Polk never made a model 2C. You just bought the 2B studio version, Sally.

Damn, oh well, I thought they were a special 4 run model., 2B Studio version is cool, they'll look good here in place of the R300's.

2C? seriously there was a 2C?

[danger boy]

but, but, but.... since they are 2B's. you can now do the infamous mod/upgrade to the 4.1TL version. which is suppose to be pretty dang schweet :D

[F1nut]

No Al, look at the pic of the label in the ad. Top right corner, see the big B?

Yeah, I want to do that, I really love the all black look!

[F1nut]

The 2B and CRS+ have the exact same crossover.

yeah i see it now.. i knew 1000% there was never a 2C... but i posted that before reading the whole thread.

[Lasareath]

Sweet, Joe wants to do the TL upgrade to his CRS+'s as well, Maybe we will have to do his and mine at the same time. I might be going to Joe's the weekend of the 25th, 26th, I need to order some parts!

hmmmm, where's Elliots' phone #?........

Nice grab, Sal! Congrats on SDA 2D's!:D:D

[nspindel]

I almost bid on those, now I'm glad I didn't, Larchmont is only about 1/2 hour away from me. I'm so happy with my TL upgrade I was thinking about building another pair, with no particular need for them. Congratulations!

[Lasareath]

Thank you all for the Congrats, The seller is out of town, I'm going next weekend to pick them up.

Neil, where did you buy your parts?

Sal

[nspindel]

The RD0198-1 tweeters I obviously got from Polk.

I got the Sonicaps, Mills resistors, Cardas binding posts, and Cardas solder from Sonic Craft.

I got the Erse inductor and the Monster terminators from Parts Express.

The Monster Z2 speaker cable I got from accessories4less

[schwarcw]

Great buy Sal! These speakers will suprise you how musical they are. In most rooms, this is all the speaker you'll ever need. The 4.1 TL upgrade woyld be fun, go for it!

Congrats and good luck!

[MillerLiteScott]

Yeah, I want to do that, I really love the all black look!

Here are my all black 2B TL's. I like the look.

Bingo, I was gonna say that but............................you beat me to it.

Congratulations! About a week earlier, I found a pair of SDA 2's about 40 minutes from me, in mint condition with the cable. The seller had his phone number listed and so I called him, asking if he would do a buy-it-now for $300.00. He agreed and I drove up the next night to pick them up. It was the coldest day of the year and my hands were nearly frostbitten after loading them into my car (one across the back seat and one leaning back in the passenger side front seat). Believe me, they're not exactly light. I got them home and got them up the stoop to my apartment. It's a good thing my downstairs neighbor was home (and in a good mood). He helped me carry them up the stairs to my second floor apartment. They're very nice but I am now trying to evaluate them against a pair of SDA CRS's that I have had since new (around 1988) and a pair of SDA 1's that I bought about a year ago.

Mr Sal
I first would like to say congrats on the new system. I would also like to know what you are planning on as a system for hooking up these. Like CDP, amp, and PrePro.
Again congrats.

cool i've been looking for some on ebay but price seems a little steep

[Lasareath]

Here are my all black 2B TL's. I like the look.

Scott, That is Awesome!!!!, That all black speaker. Is that what mine will look like?

I am going tomorrow morning to get them!

Ben, My main plan was to fix them up, Crossovers, RD0198's, Cardas Posts, New grills if they need them and new IC cable. I was going to document the whole process, make a website and sell them to somebody with a bound book.

But if they look like Scott's Black ones, I will most likely keep them.

$227.50 is not steep, They are 40 mins from my house.

[MillerLiteScott]

Mine are not the studio version. I painted the top and bottom caps black and put a mat clear on them. I think they look more up to date this way. Enjoy your new speakers. They sound great with the TL upgrade.

Scott

PS. I paid $225 for mine @ 5 miles from my house.
