    That is an interesting stand under the Monitor 7. I feel like it is backwards though:

    I'm pretty sure that it is designed for a center channel.

    Well today was one of those days. It started with me seeing an OfferUp posting for some very good looking SDA 2B's. The ad was posted around midnight. Unfortunately for me the seller had committed to sell to someone else who beat me to the punch.

    Two hours later he informed me that the speakers were indeed sold. Bummer.

    I told my wife that I was going to be in a foul mood for the rest of the day so please forgive me. Fast forward to about 7:30 pm when another Polk ad popped up.

    1.2TL's for two hundred dollars about 30 miles away from me. I quickly contacted the seller who agreed to meet me at the storage facility where the speakers were being stored.

    Jumped in my truck and off I went. Once in a while I hear about someone getting the Big Boys for a crazy-good price. Well now it's happened to me.
