I've noticed California is purging Polk Audio Big Boys for years.
Did Polk sell a lot of the big boys in Cal. in the 70's?
Must have, here's a set of 2.3tls, Monterey again. Silly price. The ones in Kansas on Ebay went for $660, but not even I could justify a 3k round trip to go get them.

Considering that the big boys didn't come around until mid 80's the answer would be no they didn't sell any. -

I remember auditioning the big boys in our stereo, TV and record store when I was young. YOUNG!
So I guess I missed it by 1/10 of my age.
I do remember seeing 86 on some mid-woofers of my SRS2's or CRS's now that I think about that.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Contacted the seller and he sent me a picture of the bottom of one speaker. I has a rather long crack in the veneer. It'll be an issue for me.

Some pics of my new babies! Still enroute, wrapped in blankets, to their new home!
1C's came home today. They are mint! New tweeters, and it looks like the previous owner sealed the drivers upon re-installation with mortite (ugh). Worry about that later. Hooked em up and took em for a test drive.
Wow! They sound great! Very happy with my new babies.
I'll now be able to do a direct comparison with these and the other set of 1C's that I'm in the middle of a complete upgrade.

Thanks @250GTLusso !
I marked the carpet with duct tape so I could get the spacing right. All I can say is wow! The soundstage goes all the way to the adjacent walls and beyond! Imaging is blowing me away too! I'm hearing a lot of vertical and fore/aft depth never experienced before.
My buddy, who had his kids pick em up for me (long story, couple pages prior on this thread), sat in my listening chair for a bit. He asked me - is this a 2-channel setup?
And, as Karma should, he was surprised when I gave him my set of 2B's!
I just swapped out the tweets, everything else bone stock.
I hope to see him on CP soon.
