in The Clubhouse
So, braved the ‘Rona and went down to lovely Hilton Head Island and picked up my new, one owner, low mileage 2.3tl’s

Bone stock and pretty darn minty. Sharp edges, no scuffs or marks anywhere. Fabric in great shape as well. Only thing missing is floor spikes....

The Adcom gear is minty as well....and everything has manuals and sales literature.

Not a bad haul today....90276cxavdoy.jpeg

    Sweet deal on some beautiful speakers Troy. When I 1st started here years back my 1st Polk speakers were the rta15tl & later I was on a search for 1c's & I auditioned a pair of 1c's on Clist that were hooked to Adcom 545. Man those sounded very nice on the Adcom. Congrats on the great find. Enjoy

    What a killer deal, especially when ya look at al the beat up ones on Ebay. I never could figure why so many beat them up. My 15TL's look just as new as the day I bought them in 91.

    Honestly, I can’t see these leaving. I’m long since past swapping out speakers. I’m going to move the Thiels....get the Quads repaired for the mancave and call it a day.
