Polk SDA SRS 1.2TL

in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Up for sale are my modded/upgraded flagship Polk SRS 1.2tl speakers in very, very good condition. These have been upgraded by following a ton of advice and receiving great help from this site and it’s many generous members.

These have been upgraded with Clarity Cap ESA capacitors and Mills resistors. Binding posts were changed to a higher quality and SDA interconnect socket was changed to the Neutrik speakon style. All the mid range driver magnets have been secured with Loctice powergrab adhesive. Tweeters switched to the RDO 198s and I believe I still have a spare pair of them that Polk sent with snapped terminals, but they still work and can be reattached. 1000va dreadnought with custom case by our own Larry and Canare 4s11 SDA interconnects also with Neutrik speakon connectors.

As far as cosmetics, I installed nice brass spikes with matching floor discs. The wood on the speakers was redone with African Sapele veneer. The cloth on the speaker was replaced about 3 years ago and is in nice shape still. Only issue, if you want to call it one, is one of the badges on the front of the speaker is missing one of its two posts. It’s been that way since I purchased these and I never bothered looking for a new one or fixed the current because it still sat on the grill just fine.

Hate to see these guys go but I would like them to go to a fellow Polkie who will enjoy them as much as I have.

Polkie price of $2500 and local pickup as you all know these are huge and heavy. Located in Maryland 21921.

    Didn’t know anything about this until I just searched the gatherings page. I’m not sure if I would be able to make that or not...depends a lot on the date and my work schedule unfortunately.

    Troy:

    I have been looking for 2.3tls for a long time so send me a pm if/when you decide to sell them (and if you are not too far from NY).

    All the best.

    P.S. Hope you like the Cambridge Audio phono pre I sent and are spinning lots of records.
