Adcom GFP-750 + B&K Reference 200.2 S2 + Polk SDA-2BTL + Gimpods Boards

Made a tough decision last night. Moving expenses have been piling up and I need to get rid of some things to make life a little easier. Along with that I'm going to spend less time with 2 channel and work on building my business. These pieces finally got my ears to where they wanted to be in my 2 Channel setup. If the Adcom and B&K are not purchased before the 1st of March, I may keep them.

Adcom GFP-750 - 8/10 condition (conservative), blue boards, remote, input jumpers...it's all there and working as it should. This pre-amp was the best audio purchase I've ever made. $700 shipped.

B&K Reference 200.2 S2 - 9/10 condition (conservative). I can't find a scratch or smudge on this thing. It's an effortless amp. Smooth, musical, tons of power at 225wpc @ 8 ohms. I'd like to get what I paid for it, $600 shipped.

Polk SDA-2BTL - 7/10 condition, fully modded, larry's rings, custom gaskets, Clarity Cap PX's caps and Mundorf Resistors all throughout the crossovers, Cardas binding posts, spikes, and most importantly they have been "TL'ed" which means they have the RD0-198 tweeter installed. These speakers flat out kick ****. If you've been on the fence about SDA's, here's your chance to buy a pair fully modded. I will drive 200 miles 1 way to deliver them. If you want to pick them up, lets hope the Adcom and B&K are around to power them. It's a phenomenal combo. $500.

Gimpods Boards - 10/10 - 1 pair. Brand new unused. $90 shipped.

Buy with confidence, I've never had a bad transaction here at Club Polk. If the feedback system was working properly, I'd have a nice little record.

    Holy Crap, you are an audio schizophrenic. Unbelievable

    You are the most erratic person I know.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    That is a tough decision but good to see you know where your priorities are.

    I have a feeling you won't last long with SDA's though:mrgreen:

    Just a suggestion but you should post pics of the xover work and the binding post cups. If I was looking at buying them I would want to see the work and craftsman ship that was done. Also maybe make a deal with gimpods boards to go with them..


    Just a thought...

    Good luck with the sale!!!

    I owned the 1.7's. This would power them with ease.

    That's a good idea. I'll wait until someone is seriously considering them to open them up and grab some pics of the crossovers.

    Never ran this particular amp on the 1.7's, but I'll tell ya, as long as they're getting some good clean power, they're gonna sing. As little as an Adcom GFA-545 will do the trick, so this BK will do it in spades.

    GLWTS, that's a nice amp... and pre... and speakers... and boards...:biggrin:

    Nope, gone.

    All that's left is gimpods boards.
