    Who told you that the 1C's aren't worth upgrading:confused:
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    A gentlemen from Gr Research. i bought a DIY kit from him, and found out he did cross over upgrades and all sorts of fun stuff. I proceed to ask him about my sda's and thats the answer i got. Some people are so mean!

    Hmmm......I'd send his DIY kit back to him and tell him it isn't worth building.

    At a minimum you have to question the guys knowledge and products. Probably someone to avoid.

    On second thought you might as well sell the 1Cs, what you want for them ?
    Speakers: SDA-1C (most all the goodies)
    Preamp: Joule Electra LA-150 MKII SE
    Amp: Wright WPA 50-50 EAT KT88s
    Analog: Marantz TT-15S1 MBS Glider SL| Wright WPP100C Amperex BB 6er5 and 7316 & WPM-100 SUT
    Digital: Mac mini 2.3GHz dual-core i5 8g RAM 1.5 TB HDD Music Server Amarra (memory play) - USB - W4S DAC 2

    Danny has never had anything good about Polk speakers, actually Danny rarely has anything good to say about any speakers other than his designs. He is in the business of selling speakers and crossover upgrades and such, not sure I would really like too many speaker/designs other than my own either, it would be bad for business.

    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!
