No price no affiliation but has the name of them wrong so maybe he doesn't know the full value.

Vintage polks being offered for sale on Craigslist usually fall under two categories.
2, the seller thinks that his older speakers are like fine wine or exquisite art work that steadily go up in value.
More often than not number two applies.

just dealt with this on some RTA's. Seller wanted more than they cost new. -
SDA 1C's in Sandy Ego, no affiliation. Comes with pin/blade from original owner.http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/5966989959.html
This deal strikes me as an example of #1 above.
$225 for 1Cs that look to be in as good condition as these is more than reasonable.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers. Power source for all components: Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One with dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel.

Power for each component from dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel, except Innuos Statement powered from Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One. -
Are these the studio version?
yes, with the black end caps... studio version.. unless someone, for unknown reasons, decided to paint the natural wood end caps black.2.3TL's - Living Room

Yeah I contacted this guy the first day the ad came out. He had no pictures and called them Polk SDA SRT speakers. He just had the number of drivers in the description and had no asking price (drives me crazy when people do that!). I emailed him how much? He tells me a pair sold on Ebay for $3,000 but give him a reasonable offer. Said no thanks to my offer (around a $1,000)......
I did try and give him some good info on the worth of early SRS speakers (especially now seeing they are an early spade/spade version).
He then updated the ad to include pictures and was asking $1,500 cash and $1,500 in trade. Now he has changed it back to reasonable offer. I have a feeling they are going to be there for awhile. -
Those 1C's do look nice!!
-
I just love the look of the all black studio version.
That's it!
I don't need them, but I want them. Can anyone in San Diego help broker a deal for these? I can drive down on Saturday, but I'm afraid they'd be gone by then.
Did the studio version even have end caps?
Looks to me like the exposed wood on this pair was painted black by somebody who had no trouble finding black paint.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.

Something smells fishy, can we get a concensus on the subject of these 1C's?
Apparently they were painted black. I also have 2 sets of non-studio 1C's and other than the color that pair is just like them.
We now know what happened to the last of the black paint.Pio Elete Pro 520

@VMAXER do you have a picture of yours that you'd care to share?
Not the best photos, I currently don't have either set hooked up but I think you can tell a bit from them.
Note the tops and bottoms are different.

The 1C's look a lot like my 2B studios--and my 2Bs don't look like most of them out there.

I have no affiliation to these. This guy has had these on again off again on Craigslist here locally in Phoenix. Always for $400 mo more no less.

Not mine.

I think this answers the question on those 1C's in SD. Clearly standard 1C's (all wood) that someone painted black.
