I might add...my PS Audio DirectStream DAC was open box and purchased from Music Direct. I was able to get another $500 discount by simply asking for a lower price. YMMV.Not vintage but the new kid on the block. Open box @ a discount...

So, I pestered the owner for a pic of the SDA connection and this is what he added to the auction...

They are 1.2's at the least because they have the pin/blade socket, however, the next question is...are the tweeters RD0-198's, if so they would be 1.2TL's ...if they're RD0-194's they're 1.2's but can be converted to 1.2 TL's. Easy way to find out is to remove a tweeter and if the white negative post is larger than the colored positive post they're RD0198's.michaeljhsda2 wrote: »The type of interconnect socket is the determining factor of what they are.

He said he connected using that XLR JACK and it didn’t affect the sound. I asked him to take a pic of the binding posts so I could see the SDA jack and he realized that he show try connecting the SDA cable correctly. So, he wants to hear the SDA effect before he sells them.
He also did the leak test and the drivers moved back in about a second.
He did confirm the tweets are all RD-0194s.Hales System Two Signatures / Bryston 7B STs / McCormack RLD-1 / Innersound Phono / Bluesound Node 130 /Oppo BDP-105D / Technics SP-15 w/SAEC WE-308SX & Ortofon AS-309 arms / Audio-Technica ART-1 & Dynavector XX2 Mk II carts -
The Binding post nuts need to be reversed because the 1.2 and 1.2 TL is the opposite of the original SRS. The label on the back of the speakers show that the positive is on the right but that is incorrect since these are 1.2's. Polk was Notorious for using old stock on newer models. For once you don't want to follow the label directions LOL
Once the seller reverses the wires he will notice a major improvement in bass, as it is now, the speakers are out of phase.SDA SRS 2.3TL's
