    Now down to $1000. Backs are a bit dinged up but if they check out a good price IMO. I paid more for my 1.2tl's. Hard to find them much lower than this.

    EDIT:
    Not sure they are 1.2tl's. Tweeter's have white, not black, surrounds and the XO plate looks to be the original SDA-SRS configuration...pictures too grainy to say 100%.

    I concur. They look like originals SRSs to me also. Even so, if you want a set of the Big Boys, here is your chance!

    They are not original SRS's, they are P/B, and by the look of the tweeters I say they are at least 1.2's but I need to see a better picture..

    I'm guessing someone should be running out the door for them, and they are 5 minutes from my house..

    I will be picking up a nice pair of SDA-CRS gems on Friday. I got them for $240 They look near new and complete with interconnect cable. I just wish they came with the CRS stands too.

    Wish I could find a deal like that on some. I'd buy them even though I don't have the room for them to work right.......

    That's the great/terrible thing about the SRS: They're so big that people unload them for far less than they're worth because they need the space. I sold a nice pair of original SRS for $850 because I just couldn't squeeze past them any more. There is no speaker out there that's better at that price. And $700? Or $500??? Blows my mind. It's a great time to be alive for an audiophile with a big room.

    I was tempted, but I was busy and couldn't make the trip over to see them. Plus I don't believe they are TLs and I already have two sets of the originals...

    Had I seen the drop to $600 I would have likely asked for assistance. Every pair that comes up around here is in the 2K-4K range it seems.

    Yeah so I did grab them. :smile: Turns out one magnet-shifted 6500 is frozen and they are walnut vinyl not veneer. Otherwise pretty clean.

    I'm up to three pairs of vintage polks. 3.1TLs, M7 series 2s with rd0's and recapped, now these peerless M10s. WOO

    Lawdogg sounds like you and I are on similar paths as far as dabbling in the vintage polk gear. I also have some 3.1tl's and recently picked up some 5jr's. You're in CA, where abouts?

    Nice grab, I've never heard the 5's. I'm in the bay area, north bay up in San Rafael. What about you?
