    Dude! I feel sick to my stomach for you....

    Yes, you are right he must not have had a clue. I would if been frantically blowing up his email as well......
    I have yet to have acquired a pair of SRS's TL or not. My entry into the big vintage Polks are a pair of SRS 2's and 2.3's. I would love to eventually find a pair of 1.2TL's to call my own. Keeping my fingers crossed.....

    I also learned the hard way when looking up on Offerup you want to use the general term "Speakers" as well as Polk in the searches. Because you never know....

    Those are mine as soon as Fred has a minute to himself. I know the seller through previous transaction. I've been after them since he mentioned them when I picked up my M5s from him.

    No worries, they've been up for a month or so... I'm surprised they haven't been sold sooner.

    He says he can't find any info on them to determine their vintage. I just think they're cool!

    Once I get my hands on them, I'll post a bunch of pics for you guys (and gals).

    agree on both accounts since the picture isn't clear as to the color. thinking 2b studio were black and 2a may of only been in walnut. pulling the drivers is the only sure way to tell positively

    SDA 1 in Albuquerque. I think they are SDA-1Cs because I don't think the 1Bs had the solid top and bottom caps. Priced at $450, too high considering the broken connector. Then again, they are rare in this area.

    You haven't been paying attention then. For some reason Colorado is the holy grail of Polk items especially SDA's. There have been multitude of polks I've drooled and lusted for come up all the time there.
