    If they had been close to Savannah I may have pulled the trigger.
    Why are they all out West?
    I may have to man up and pay shipping.
    It always seems like there are tons of SDA's out in the San Fran. area too.

    aprazer402 thanks for the link. I thought 1Cs were in the new style cabinet with fabric sides? These look like 1Bs to me. They have a walnut finish so I don't think they are studios either. These look like they have wood sides.
    Some help from the experts?

    Those could be 1B's or the early b/b studio 1C's, I only have real wood 1C's (not the studio ones). I defer to experts on how to tell the difference between 1B's and early 1C studios. Both have b/b interconnect and dual-board crossovers. You would have to take a MW out and see what model it is (refer to link for which MW are in each version). I would hope they are the even later1C's studio with p/b. See the link as this get's murky, very similar from the exterior. Good price either way. http://www.gimpod.com/sda-id.html

    Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the transitional models. Pulling a MW may be the only way to confirm.

    Congrats! Where are you located and what might you be getting rid of? I'd like to get a pair of 7's some day. Never seem to find any around me. I'm in South Carolina by the way.

    CS350LS in Wilmington, NC $200.00 Isn't that the one suggested to use as a center for my 3.1's?

    I'd like to get that but that is about 2 hours from me. Is that a good price? I think so. Looks like another pair of polk's in the back ground. I'll be emailing that guy.

    Thanks! I have to remember the 2 Centers I have now I only paid $50 and $60 for IIRC. IDK which ones they are and they are not as nice looking as that one either. Still I like the looks of that one. I'll have to try and remember it.

    Looks like the tweeters, top one on each speaker has been replaced. From the looks of the surroundings he may be strapped for cash. He did not have them inside the house they were probably in the garage reason be brought them out for pictures. I would offer him $975, with a mandatory test audition.

    Oh yeah, $1500. is a very "hopeful" amount on the sellers part, I would offer $900. if they were close enough for an audition, no more than the $1000. total.

    I messaged him about the difference in the tweeters and he responded:

    Don't know this is how I bought them. I believe tweeters are the same except a couple tweeters have black coating that is gone.

    I'm just guessing as the buyer was from springs.
    If these are indeed mine, the buyer upgraded tweeters and crossovers.
    Mine had gold tweeters.
    He didn't take diy ic cable so the one he's selling also must be another diy.
    They need a lot of space to sound good and lack of that is why I sold them.
    Check my old thread for more information.
    There were some cosmetic issues.
