    They are that.

    But just wait until after you mod them.

    Correct me if I am wrong but you can't buy them anymore unless used right?

    "Real" SDAs were discontinued long ago. Buying used is the only option aside from buying raw drivers from Polk, aftermarket crossover boards from Gimpod, populating the boards and building your own cabinet. You'd have to play with commercially-available passive radiators.

    In short...Polk SDAs are under-valued for the most part, buying used and then repairing/modifying is cost-effective.

    Can't bet 'em.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    If You can land them locally thats where your best deals are. Online the delivery charges can be steep at times. My 2b's were 130.00 shipping out of Colorado.

    I'm surprised it was that cheap, that's quite trip. Who was the shipping company?
