    Nice! I posted a pic like that once with all my Polks and asked if anyone had more. I forget who it was but he dwarfed my collection, he must had 15 pairs.

    Looks good to me.
    I'm still missing some... well, quite a few, if'n ya count SDA models (of which there are identically zero here).

    Happy New Year!

    I am going to assume that the subwoofa is being used strictly as a table, @F1nut.
    I mean, I could absolutely see that being the case ;)

    I’m not using the sub right now... I just moved in about three weeks ago so that area is temporary storage for most of the equipment.

    Currently budgeting for a turntable now... I was gifted a Ion Select LP a few years ago. Since I’ve added the Polks, I’m definitely searching for a better player.

    Probably made new ones when the originals got stripped...
    Gustard X26 Pro DAC
    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    Nice catch, I don't know how you picked that up... and I HAVE those in black.

    Aren't there supposed to be braces on the bottom of them? If they've been removed you should consider some spikes once you get them upgraded.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    There should be a one inch tall platform base on them. Probably sunk into his carpet.

    No Jesse the picture of one laying on its back is clearly missing the base.

    Ah, I didn't see that pic until now. Yes, the platform is missing and that cabinet is a royal mess.

    The previous owner had wheels on the cabinet missing the base. Knowing that I was leaning towards spikes, it didn’t bother me as much. I’m going to fill the holes this weekend and remove the vinyl over the next two weeks...
