    Easily. I did 26 hours for 2B's, I'd do 5 hours for 3.1's without a second thought.

    My mistake. The ones in Williamsburg are not 1As. I think they are 1Bs.

    I did a 4 hour round trip for my SDA-CRS pair. In 1998, I did 30 seconds for my 2.3tl's. My uncle, one street over sold them to me when I was 19 years old. Still love them!

    I want/need some CRS stands, along with several others I have read. One of you metal working men should get a group buy going for CRS stands, clones of the originals. I would buy a set.
    I am a woodworker, cabinets and furniture usually. I considered making my own from wood, but it would have to be designed differently. I think steel is the way to go here, or maybe wood with steel skeleton on the inside.

    Get a list going, and I will see if it's worth doing. The more I can build at one time will help with cost, but shipping will cost so keep that in mind...

    Of course.
    They are (I mean were) my pair.
    Here's my thread when I got them.
    http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/162712/super-score-today

    I sold them to this guy in Centennial.
    In fact, I sold him 3 pairs of SDA's. ;)
    Good thing is finally they'll get some upgrade since they are in your hands. :dizzy:
