I thought I'd never sell these speakers but there comes a time when some things just have to go. I haven't been on here in quite some time but maybe some members will remember me. I also do things on eBay with a perfect 100% feedback rating over a 12 year period, too. I'm selling my Polk SDA SRS 2's which have been completely redone from top to bottom...literally.
  • The top, bottom, and side oak panels have all been sanded and restained
  • The grills and side panels were recovered 5 years ago with new cloth
  • The (4) tweeters have been replaced with the newer RD0198 's
  • All (8) MW6509's were replaced with the new Polk models. I had sent an original one to Polk for Ken to evaluate against the replacements and subsequently got all new mid/woofers for mine.
  • The crossovers were rebuild with Solen caps and Mills resistors and the thermal circuit removed
  • The Interconnect was replaced with locking XLR connections using a 12ga speaker wire for connection enclosed in a mesh wrap

All in all, these are simply one outstanding pair of SDA's that do everything so well it's scary. But, they have been in a closet since I moved back to Arkansas in January 2010 and I'm afraid they won't see any more playing time for a long while. It's a shame for them to be put away thus the reason I'm selling them. They've never been abused and have only been ran with either a Carver M-1.0t (now MKII) or a Carver TFM-55 amplifier.

I live in Central Arkansas about 45 minutes northeast from Little Rock and, of course, everyone knows these would be a biotch to ship so local pick is preferred. I have a truck and can meet you within a reasonable driving distance on a weekend if need be. I'm asking $1000 which I think is quite fair for a pair of speakers of this caliber and upgrades. Please email me at avguytx at the yahoo dot com address if you have any questions at all. Or, post them here and/or PM me. I will do my best to get some pictures of them soon but they are tucked away at a relatives house in the closet (sigh) so pics will be interesting to say the least.

Thanks for reading.

    I almost didn't see your asking price since it's down in the last paragraph, might want to post it up at the top of the ad and include next to it best offers? Also add pics if you can, :wink:GLWTS, these are a nice line of Polk speakers.

    Why is it that these things always turn up many states away, and while I'm short on funds? GLWTS!

    If anyone in the midwest is interested, I will be in central AR this July 4th weekend. I could pick up these bad boys up for a small fee of gas money and get them close to you. I live in the Indianapolis area.

    avguytx, please let me apologize for not getting you the word, but apparently the emails i have been sending are not going through, the message says something about batch error blah blah blah, i just got back last night from a few days spent with my sister, and saw the messages telling me my messages to you and others had not gone through.

    I would love to have the sdas but right now i cant make it work, again I apologize and would never intentionally leave you hanging.

    No worries whatsoever Scott. If it's a distance thing, let me know.
