I don't see where he specifies that they are 1Cs. -
I don't see where he specifies that they are 1Cs.
IIRC, 1C's are the only SDA 1's that have the SRS look with the end caps. All the other !'s look more like the monitor line.2-channelBelles 22A Pre, Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2, Marantz SA8005, Pro-Ject RPM-10 Turntable, Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3B, Polk Audio Legend L800's, AudioQuest Cable throughout. -

Someone did grab them from the Boise CL. I was the seller and am planning a move soon. I know they're worth more, but I still think Craigslist buys should be something you can brag to your friends about. Still have my Monitor 10's and Monitor 7's, but I will miss the 2.3's.Home Theater - Talon Firebird (Fronts), Talon Raven 2002 (Surrounds), Talon Cinema Hawk (Ctr), Talon Falcon (Back Surrounds), JL Audio Fathom F112 Sub

beautiful pair of Classic Polk Audio SDA SRS 2.3's. These are in excellent condition and would make a great addition to any ones Home Theater or Stereo room.
The fit/finish on these speakers are as good as any I've ever owned (9 pair of SDA's over the years) as clean as new, non smokers, no small children, we do have one dog, but she's not allowed to play with the stereo.
They sound wonderful, 4 dimensional drivers through a soundstage that is remarkable, the stereo imaging is spot on and the Bass response from the 15" Passive Radiators is tight and clean.
The original SDA interconnect cable is included also.
You can come and sit down for a demo before you buy, but bring cash.
Approx. 2-2 1/2 hours from the Columbia/Jeff City area.
Please call or text Mike $800.00
Thanks for looking!

I asked him about it and he assured me he would. He did say he was having problems finding the interconnect cable, not a big deal to me as I have a couple.
He also told me he had the stands and would ship separately at no additional charge??

I don't know that these would be a "deal" but ... In a recent thread I talked about a local pair of CRS+ that had my interest but which had bolts out of the backs for some reason. That listing came down, sold presumably, before I followed through, which was fine. Now here's a pair with bolts out of the back of at least one of them ...
http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/4272638317.html
I don't think these are the same speakers as the earlier pair had three bolts out of the back of the left channel and only two (with a third hole, apparently the old IC jack location) in the right channel. There's only one photo of a back with this listing but it has three bolts in the right channel. Also no mention here of stands, which were included in the earlier listing.
I'm not going to be pursuing these but I'm going a little nuts trying to figure out these bolts, haha
Here's the right channel from the earlier listing:
http://images.craigslist.org/01515_3v3ZKHiHizI_600x450.jpg
edit: Looking more closely I'm seeing similarities between the right channel speakers in both photos, aside from the third bolt - the markings and dings around the edge and what appear to be two smaller drilled holes ... something smells a bit off to me here.Main HT (family room): Polk Monitor 7 (1987-original owner) (L/R) / CSi40 (C) / RTi38 (SL/SR) / SVS 20-39PC (sub), Outlaw 975 pre/pro / Outlaw 7075 amp, Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray, LG 42LM5800 teevee

Wow I did not realize the stands were in the deal too. It's got to cost him $60+ to send you all that.I asked him about it and he assured me he would. He did say he was having problems finding the interconnect cable, not a big deal to me as I have a couple.
