And my parents would kill me. And I couldn’t pay for gas.
So basically, I would get a ticket, then get in huge trouble, and then be in debt for gas. As much as it would be awesome, I don’t think it’s worth it.
more SRS 2's - blade blade, great deal. not mine. very tempted. don't need them though... curious if the drivers are the real polk replacements or if they're something else... https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/53042767
Good point @pitdogg2. Considering they're Frankenpolks, not the most sought after SRS, would cost quite a bit to get back to stock or more to upgrade...those SW-150's are a steal at the current $250 price. I have way more than that invested in all the upgrades for my 1.2tl's.
Tell me, would you pay $125 for a replacement PR if yours was unrepairable? Guaranteed, you'd make your money back if someone needs it. Potentially, even more. Heck, I'd pay $250 for 1 SW-150 if one of mine was blown. I've made 4 major moves in the past 10 years, so I have 2 saved for a rainy day (one is not perfect).
I'm not into cannibalizing a perfectly good set of speakers but perhaps someone can get them into the CP family for a rainy day. I'm not near the seller...otherwise I'd buy into this insurance plan . Folks, these are unobtainium!

That could be a stock picture from the store. I would for sure call first and then check pricing. Midwest speaker often uses a stock picture for similar adds, sometimes the speakers in the picture were sold long ago. Using the same picture helps in advertising and search engine results. It keeps things trending. The pictures do change, but often overlap to keep the trends and associations with search engines. They usually have current pics for specific items.
The pricing can be high as well. That is not to say some deals can't be had, and they do sell the speakers eventually. I think some haggling is involved.
Awww, they are so cute at that age. To bad they grow up so fast

I picked up a pair of these last weekend with the al-1 cable with them. Great sounding speakers.The cabinets need work but they sound great.

Fortunately I already have a pair already and don't have the budget for a 2nd pair at this time. Would be a nice pair for someone to pick up though and hopefully they are pin/blade speakers and not blade/blade...
@la2vegas, I love the home made jumper on the one....
Yep! If you wanted a pair of SRS2's those are the ones to get.... In fact it was my pair of 2's that started this whole Polk obsession thing for me (plus it didn't hurt having some nice enablers to converse with on line) LOL!
If I didn't already have a pair I would seriously consider these.
Those "In my back yard" ones are the worse. At least if they were a state or two away you would have more of an accuse not to get them...
However I do think that is way too high for those. I picked up my pair of SDA1 studios in black about a month ago. They were on my local Craigslist for over a month and no one bought. So I felt sorry for the poor things. I paid $120 for mine with all the cables included..... I'd think $200 to $300 tops or less would be more realistic (but I am not sure about your market out there).

What model tweeter is this? I've not seen that type before. Looks a bit like a semi horn loaded SL-2500.
Good to know.
Just out of interest, would they be replaced by the RD-0194, 0198, or just not be replaced?
The RD-0194 is NOT a direct replacement.

Nope 1987 and newer have pin/blade. I lucked out so far all my SRS's have pin/blade setups.
