anyone out there tried buying some parts from fleabay to make some polk variations?
i'm wondering how a 7C setup in a slanted cabinet like a thiel would sound?
or even taking a monitor 10 setup and making it like one of the 'modern' slimline mtm towers w/ side mounted pr?
:idea:
:rolleyes:

I had SDA CRS+ drivers in 10B cabinets and they sounded really good. I used them for a year or so until I could find some SDA 2Bs. The 2Bs have better bass but the SDA CRS+10B hybrid is not bad at all. And best of all the modifications can all be reversed without damaging anything in either set of speakers.anyone out there tried buying some parts from fleabay to make some polk variations?

thanks for the reply. moving the CRS to the monitor 10 cabs seems like a 'logical progression'. cool.
someone local had some Polk 2B on fleabay for $250 that didn't sell. i was wondering about them. :question: -
Sounds like a reasonable price to me if you want a pair of 2Bs. Better grab them if your interested. I don't know about your area but they don't show up often around here.thanks for the reply. moving the CRS to the monitor 10 cabs seems like a 'logical progression'. cool.

Doesn't the sda crs use the same drivers as the 10b anyways.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

The 10Bs I owned had 2-6503 MWs in each cabinet.
My CRS+ I own have 1-6510 stereo MW and 1-6511 dimensional MW in each cabinet.
My 2Bs I own have 1-6503 stereo MW and 1-6511 dimensional MW in each cabinet.
As you can see they all have a lot in common. The 2Bs use a 12" PR where the other 2 use a 10" PR.- SDA 2BTL · Sonicaps · Mills resistors · RDO-198s · New gaskets · H-nuts · Erse inductors · BH5 · Dynamat

Man I would be all over that if I was wanting some SDA's. 2B's are some of the best SDA's IMO. Offer them $200 and go from there but 250 isn't bad, it's just not great. I paid $225 for my 2A's because I wanted them really bad.
Some of the RTA tower types could prob benefit from more modern cabinets easily and some of the Monitors that are do not use the side by side mids. Adjusting the cabs for models with side by side mids to a MTM setup would require some good working knowledge of crossovers and some changes in that area as well I believe, not just the cabinets.If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?!

Okay, I was just going by the drivers in my 10B's they are stamped SDA CRS on the magnets.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world.
