Hi kids. I drove 2-1\2 hours one way yesterday to pick up a pair of SRS 2.3s :biggrin:. I also have some SDA 2As and a pair of Monitor 10 Series ll. I'm hoping to learn some new tricks and tips here and become a part of the community.

Thanks!

    Polkoarder = Polk Hoarder. :lol:

    Congrats and welcome.

    Now, before everyone jumps on tweeter upgrades, give them SL2000's a listen at least for a while.

    Yep.

    Three sets qualifies as lunacy.

    Or maybe even for a divorce.

    My addiction has forced several things in my life to take a "back seat"

    Things like furniture.

    I saw your post on AK. One forum leads to another. The folks here can relate a little more to the Polk addiction, they/ we are all enablers.

    Hey tygr1955 welcome to cp. I have the exact same speakers you have. I have done all the mods and am waiting for my x-overs to be finished from trey (VR3). I agree that you need to listen to them a while and get your read on. Everything you need to know is in this forum about your speakers. The knowledge here is second to none. You will soon see. I will say that the mods I was able to do myself using the knowledge here made my speakers sound better than I could ever have imagined. Again welcome to the club.

    Welcome to Club Polk!

    Nice speakers! Is that a Sansui receiver or something else?

    Enjoy!

    Nice vintage piece! Almost 60 lbs of Sansui "goodness" and 160 W x 2 there!

    But then again, those Polk SDAs can soak up even more "power".

    Welcome! I just picked up my 7th set of Polks last week - a cute little pair of Monitor 4s... I don't have all 7 still, as some have moved through, while others have stuck. Haven't taken the leap to SDA yet....

    Enjoy!

    Welcome to to forum and congratulations on the speakers. I have not heard that model but am sure they sound awesome. Listen to them for a while as is and then look at starting some mods/ upgrades. some can make a big difference for little output while others take a little more cash.
    If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?!
