    It's the GREAT POLK AUDIO SPEAKER RUSH of 2018. :p

    Everybody head WESTWARD, now!
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Blade/Blade Studio SDA 2 (B I think?) $200
    They could have at least wiped them down. They don't look too bad under the schmutz though.

    These were just put up 21 hours ago. No affiliation. Says they are 1.2tl's but those aren't the right tweeters and I can't tell from the picture if it is pin/blade or not. Anyone have an idea maybe the version and age that might have a better eye then me?

    Any suggestions on an offer amount. I might have to look into these. Also if it is between these or a pair of 3.1tl's and you could only afford one pair which would you pursue?? Thanks for any input.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-pair-of-used-Polk-Audio-SDA-1C-good-working-order/183155244673

    Dude put them on Craigslist, so I sent him an email re: how firm he was on price. Said the $385 price is firm. That's his BIN price as well.
    I may just hang around eBay since nobody has bid and I may just be able to grab 'em for under $300.
    For the amount of work needed, I won't go any higher.
