In a sad display of audio OCDinsanity, I ended up picking these up ($850, new rdo's) last week. Will update, compare to 1.2's, and pass the lesser (or both) down to my sons. Seller was a nice guy in Columbia who had just picked up some serious BAT gear and Maggie 3.7's.
The seller had them listed at $400. originally, but they had no tweeters in them at that time.
If someone was close by, I'd offer him 4 bills, I'm sure he would accept.
He texted me last night. He repairs speakers on the side. From what I understand the tweeters were dismantled and cleaned and then put back together. 4 would likely get you close if not in them.

I missed these. I'd like to hear the 2.3's compared to my 3.1's.

The AI-1 is an isolation transformer used in place of the interconnect cable when using the SDA's with non-common ground amplifiers. Search the forum for Dreadnought, which is a modern DIY superior version of the original Polk AI-1.
Dont know if I'd pay that much for em. Yes they have the controller (hard to find and required), but those BASH amps on the SDA subs were not factory, and he replaced the entire rear panel of the sub boxes to account for the new amps.
Does it make a negative difference sound wise... no idea, though I'd think it hurts pricing and at 3k he is a bit on the high side to begin with...

I've heard the Monitor 9s are horrible sounding speakers. Like was previously mentioned I would buy just for the history as Polk's first speaker (beyond the Live PA stuff that got them in the business).
