I don't have even near the space to do these justice. All mods I have done to these myself. Sonicaps and Mill resistors through out, Rdo-198 tweets, all baskets dynamatted, BH5 damping, hurricane nuts with button head torx screws, cabinets sealed, magnets power grabbed, updated binding posts. Other than a couple tiny (pin holes) in the material on the sides the cloth is flawless. Speakers are a solid 8 of 10 imo. These come with the original sda cable (blade/blade) owners manual and a spare 6511 driver, and spikes (drilled and inserts installed). Asking $550.00, pick up only in Columbus, OH.
2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.
Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

They look great. GLWTS.
I recently cleaned house, and gave away a stock pair. To be honest, I was a little P.O.ed at them since the sides warped, came unglued, and the cloth came off. The new owner said he was going to restore them, and I hope he did. They deserved some TLC. Jose, la2vegas, also picked up some excess gear at that time.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

Can anybody drive these to Colorado for a pitstop at @Nightfalls place. They would only be there for a few days til @daddyjt picks them up along with the 1.2's. I reckon I can drive up to Salt Lake for these beuts.

Go for it Ricardo, you know you have the itch. Get a nice tube pre and Pass amp. You'd need a dreadnought.

And only 100 miles away....
Why would I need a dreadnought? Those things didn't even exist 5 years ago....At least I don't remember hearing about them.....

They did exist 5 years ago, it was called the Polk Audio AI-1
100 miles away? Get on it, Ricardo! You may regret it later if you don't. Awesome speakers, my favorite that I've owned so far.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

OK. So why would I need one? I see it has the original cable.

I'm assuming you have monoblock amplifiers? You'd need an AI-1 or Dreadnought in order to run monoblocks or use an amplifier that's not common ground.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Even used with a stereo common ground amp the Dreadnought improves the sound quality as many here will attest.Political Correctness'.........defined
