Just wondering. On a Polk SDA original box the speakers comes in. ? Would the SDA2b come in a box that is stamped SDA 2 ? i have owned 2b's & they didnt come in box & i see some that look like the 2b in a box. Without knowing if its blade blade OR pin blade it makes me question what they are. Any thoughts ? I know I should ask them to look & tell me. But thought I'd ask her. Tia

    Polk boxes sometimes made me wonder. These are SDA1c speakers in SDA1 boxes. The RTA15t made me wonder if they were the RTA15tl speakers when I got them from Denver Colo. yjqpknkgmqvq.jpg

    Maybe they liked making people wonder what they got

    I'd love to try a set of 2Bs one day.

    That is 2b. 2a never had wood tops like that AFAIK they were all studio cabinets.

    Yes. I gave my 2b's to oldest daughter when I got the 1c's years back & I dont want them back. Been in her husband's smoke garage/party room & they are not coming here. I may pick these up if they are available when I head north Friday. I wanna play around sum

    Scott. I picked up some more goodies since. Cs1000p (bought here) replaced the cs400i. I cant remember what's out there. I downsized & then picked up more when the ole lady left

    The side panels on my 2Bs warped, and the cloth came unglued. Not really sure why they warped since the humidity in CA is low.

    2B's in the original boxes with the packing material for only $180.00....grab them quick.

    Edit: I can see the right side cloth is peeling off, but it's an easy fix.

    Easy fix I know. I should be wondering about other issues such as top & bottom cabinet. I'm up for a challenge. I do have projects line up. I have been on a 3 year speakers project vacation. I'm ready to get back at it. No one to nag me

    Well I'm gonna nag you also to get those 2Bs. Sheeze man, we never see deals like that around here. Best case, someone would be selling a mismatched set of a 2 studio and a 2B for $400, with "upgraded Dayton drivers", and one passive would have been stabbed with a screwdriver.
