    Would these be 1C's?

    Looks like a transitional model 1C. Has what looks like a blade/blade IC connector. It may also have modified 1B crossovers, instead of the 4th generation 1C crossover.

    SL2000 Monitor 7's - $85

    00606_cmkm5wKX2YB_600x450.jpg

    Thanks for posting these. I've been wanting to hear a set to compare to my Monitor 5's. I was going to look at them last night, but work interfered -- even paying bills trumps speakers... sometimes. ;-)

    I talked with the guy though, and said I'd be able to go tonight. I'm hoping he hung onto them for me.

    So I ended up getting the Monitor 7's (above). Great sounding speakers for the price! The cabinets are a little scratched, but the drivers are in immaculate condition.

    As if I needed another set of speakers.... ;-) hahaha

    You dont have ALL the vintage models of the Monitor/SDA/RTA/SRT lines yet?

    If so then you aren't yet done :smile:

    Ender - Nope, I don't have the entire set yet. I'm working on it! ;-) As for my collection of vintage Polks, I think my current list is:

    SDA-CRS+
    SDA-1C
    SDA-2B
    SDA-2.3
    SDA-SRS (the original big ones, 2 pairs)
    Monitor 5
    Monitor 7
    Monitor 11t

    <scratch head> I think that's it. :-D

    You guys are crazy! 3 pairs is enough for me. If anything else comes in something is also leaving. Except the Peerless Monitor 4's - just because of their rarity.

    Yeah, the big guys definitely take up some room, xjghost! They need room to breath too, because you're going to want to use the volume knob. ;-)

    Alan, nice collection. I've kind of came to a standstill on mine for the past months. I have 8 pairs of MP designs as well, though different models. The big boys definately need room to breathe, but when they can, it sure is nice. Haven't been on in a while, just thought I'd check things out. Since the site changed a while back and people got lost, I kind of got bored with the forum. Seeing you guys excitement, kind of rubs off on me.

    Still shopping here.
    I have 3.1tl, 2.3 non tl, and a set of SRT's
    Still looking for t pairs. 2.3 tl's and 1.2 tl's
    Then there are all the mods to do. Saving up for Vr3's mod for the 3.1tl's before he closes his doors for good.
    Next big purchases are going to be in the electronics world. More amplifiers. I wish I had been close enough to buy Kenneth's Threshold SA/12e's that were up for sale on here. But 3K mile is just a little too far to drive.

    Thanks, Mr Bubbles! I went a little crazy back in 2010-2011 buying a bunch of sets of SDAs. I don't regret it though. :-) Amazing speakers for the price...

    I'm tempted to add these to my collection, but probably shouldn't:

    Yep.
    If those we tl's with all of the mods including the Monastary crossover I would even fly there to see to the crating.
    They would be worth a whole lot more than the asking price.
    But some dreams are just too unrealistic.
