Vintage Monitor and SDA Speaker Deals

Great deal!
-
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.
You suck! 🤣 Congrats! -
The buy of the year.
You must be living right.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

These aren't speakers but there might be interest for these here nonetheless. Original monitor 7 stands for fifty dollars. No affiliation.

Amp 600 watts and weight is 97 pounds
Apparently, he has read the front of the amp. Since the meters go to 300, it is obviously a 600-watt amp.
I'm not sure how he got the 41-pound amp to weigh 97 pounds...maybe he was on Jupiter when he weighed it?Alon Petite / Infinity 1.2S / Coda Continuum / Counterpoint SA5000 / Oppo BDP-105D / Technics SP-15 w/SAEC WE-308SX & Ortofon AS-309 arms / Ikeda 9C2 & Dynavector XX2 Mk II carts -
