    I don't have the room, or the cash. I could make room, but, just not in the cards for me at this point.

    There was a set on eBay this past week for $900 IIRC. I just looked back and don't see them now. I love the 3.1's I have and the fact that they are rarer appeals to me. What would be the difference between the 3.1's and the 2.3's? Louder? louder SDA effect?

    Deeper Bass for one, and the 2.3s have a three tweeter progressive point source array.
    Your 3.1s have a single tweeter, and one less woofer. The 2.3s are slightly more efficient, 91db versus 90db

    That's and odd ad. When I click on it, it shows an eBay ad for some TLs that I was watching. I wonder if it's for the same set of speakers.

    Jeez at $325 you'd have enough money to go get some White Rose Burgers.... worth it just to hear the guy say "yew-wan-kitch-uponyerfriiis?"

    Any body who grew up in central jersey or went to Rutgers and closed a bar knows this guy! The guy used to make burgers on a flat top with a Chesterfield in his mouth... the place smelled like grease and was the perfect place to go to when your liver was calling for grease in order to process all the alcohol in your blood and the line was too long at Greasy Tony's.

    Pretty funny you know this guy and come to think of it I never did ask nor does it say from a smoke or pet free house. A little off SDA topic but weird in North Jersey CL/ this dude is selling an set of Bose 501s which look ok but it's the Ohm 4s that defy any explanation of what the former owner was thinking .This guy said he got them this way and is guessing it's some kind of 80's motif. It's horrible not to mention the bases don't even match besides he's asking E-Bay big number prices.I had to call just to find out what the story was and I laughing for hours.

    Not studio's, the top and bottom caps have been painted black. Look like they have RDO194's in them.


    These are Studio 1C's

    Boston- I think I see what you mean. There doesn't appear to be a trim piece at the bottom like the studios I have. Did Polk make a regular 1C with black vinyl or veneer?

    If those are in as good condition as they appear to be, they are a great speaker for the price, even without the interconnect. After all, whoever gets them will want to start down the upgrade path, including a Dreadnought! :)

    Maybe this pic won't die. The speakers you show aren't studios...

    This is a pic of 1C studios.
