Vintage Monitor and SDA Speaker Deals

I've had ears on the 2Ce's. My SDA 1C's would wipe the floor with them. The 3.1's could be one step above that. Just my opinion...
Good to know... I might just pick up booth sets and live with them for awhile to see which I prefer. -
I don't know if these have been reported yet or not (no affiliation). I noticed these came up on the Phoenix Offerup. About 3 miles from where I work. Look like 1.2tl's with a Sunfire receiver. Assuming it is a package deal. I'd be interested if I didn't already have a pair........
Check out this Vintage carver sunfire ultimate receiver and polk SDA 1.2s for $1500 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/Nmqw3SismS
It looks like these sold yesterday, did anybody here get them?
@la2vegas, I was going to ask the same thing.
He still has the Carver for sale by itself for $550.00 so either he decided to keep the speakers for himself or I'd hate to think the alternative if he sold the speakers by themselves what he ended up getting for them since he only wanted $1500 for the speaker receiver combo...... -
darn cherry pickers.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Do it! Curious to hear what you think, but my two cents, my 3.1TLs have wiped the floor with everything else I've had, multiple Vandersteens included ... after hearing mine, a friend got his own 3.1TLs to replace his 2Ci's and hasn't looked back once.

Only mod is upgraded to RD0198s. I actually bought all the caps & resistors to re-do the crossovers a few years ago and they're still in the box since I've never really been dissatisfied with the sound, at all. my 3.1TLs

Until you go ahead and do it then you'll be asking yourself "why did I wait so long".

There is sooo much more potential left in the 3.1's when you upgrade those dated caps/resistors!

Polk 3.1tl's in Chicago for $595, no affiliation and unfortunately no pictures either. https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ele/d/polk-reference-speakers/6765008274.html
By the way his $4000 when new is a bit of a stretch.
Well, $1000 each in 1989-1991 is about $4k for a pair in 2018 money! my 3.1TLs

Thanks for the heads up on the 3.1. I might have to check them out
