Where to find vintage polks?
After all I've read about how fantastic the SRS and SDA lines sound, I am beginning my search for a set. Does anyone have any tips on where to look? I have been keeping an eye on Ebay and Audiogon but all of those seem to be local pick-up only. I also have been checking out the classified ads and some local pawn shops but with no luck. Are these really, really hard to come by or am I looking at a long wait until a pair shows up in my area? Any tips would be great! Thanks!

Right now is the lean season for SDA's. Keep watching where you have been as lots of folks will ship them. Which model are you looking for? Where are you located?
Actually, I think I may know somebody that has a pair of SDA SRS 1.2's for sale and I believe they will ship them.Political Correctness'.........defined

Located in the Pittsburgh area. I am hesitant about having them shipped because I would rather see/hear them first so I know all the driver and cabinets are in good condition. I don't really have a model in mind because I haven't heard any of them yet. Any advice as to the differences in sound b/w models? I want to get my feet wet in the vintage area so maybe one of the smaller models first then step up into the SRS 2.3 or the 1.2.Receiver = Denon AVR-3803

I've also been looking for a pair of sda's, but most are pickup only. I'm not really interested in the SDA SRS's but maybe the 1.2's or 2.3's. Thanks.Main System
