Re: SDA sound taking some getting used to.

I like your room, what I see of it. Reminds me of a nightclub/bar I used to hang out in minus the smoke.

Re: RTA 12 drivers in Monitor 10 cabinets?

@Conradicles Sure - well, I wouldn't sell them but I would certainly keep them on hand to mail to anyone who reaches out looking for a replacement! Thanks! Please shoot me a PM.

Re: You know you’re getting old when…

That's not Art...


EDIT*** HOLY CRAP... he has not aged well.

Probably due to Graham giving him too much Kodachrome in the early days......

My wife and I only understood a word or two of Lamar's song and his dancers only humped the air a little, at least his show had an American flag symbolized. A symbol that now triggers half of America.

We just muted the volume for most of his performance. I didn't hate it. I adjusted. ;)

The level of professionalism over the entire scope of the sport has dropped to sub level. Growing up in Texas and playing football from Pop Warner to Highschool, appreciation for the sport runs deep however the antics in the endzone, or over the recovery of a fumble that is displayed now only reminds me of a saying I heard growing up..."pull up your pants, you're showing your azz".....and the flaunting of all the jewelry???? To me, that's a flagrant act of saying how much money you have that you can easily afford to lose thousands of dollars anytime you want.

I turned my back on the sport many years ago and immersed myself into the sport of bike racing. When I was through with bike racing (I mean, will I ever be?), I decided to check out the football scene, and that was right when Romo had lost his edge and I'm like, "I leave football for 18 thousand years and all you have is a light beer???" And so that was right when the Seachickens took Romo out and in comes back up Prescot, who turns in an impressive 17-3 season and I'm like, YAY, finally, I can quit calling Dorsett and Staubach, begging them to return and bail us out (Bullet Bob Hays was out of commission).

Well, anyone who has followed the sport since that day knows that the boys in blue have only declined and it was this year that I stopped hoping and haven't watched a single cowboy game. I watched the Seabitches get beat (I'll never tire of that) and this game last night.

I was glad to see the Eagles annihilate the boys in red, and when the first half ended, I turned on my stereo and walked away from the TV until the second half started.

I'm sorry, did someone ask for my opinion??? :D

Re: SDA sound taking some getting used to.

I agree 8' is a little wide. Plus I'm in the camp that likes absolutely nothing between them. For me, all that stuff in the middle always smeared the soundstage.
My 2.3tl's are 6.5' center to center and 4" off the back wall. They just disappear in the room where it's like the entire back wall is the speaker.

SDAs are gone on to visit VR3, so I put the budget monitors in the mix...

Re: Need info on first version Polk Model 10's

Apologies for picking up on an old thread but my searches have picked up this thread many times now. So I just picked up what seems to be one of the original versions of the 10a.
I'm new to vintage Polk but quickly falling in love with the sound and community. F1 Nut seems very knowledgeable about the earliest versions so I'm posting a picture to confirm the model and begin the upgrade journey. If there is a more appropriate thread that has more information regarding upgrades (caps, resistors and speaker stands) for the early models please help me find that thread.

Gardenstater has been very helpful so far providing valuable information. Thank you. z9uv6fv18fsh.jpg
