Hi folks,

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on the forum. Life happens, and I haven’t had the time or resources to devote to this hobby for quite a while. I lost my job during Covid but have happily found a wonderful new opportunity. Unfortunately, I must relocate. Thus, I am selling most of my audio collection, including:

SDA 2B Studio in walnut veneer in pristine condition. I cannot find any cosmetic flaws so let’s rate them an 8 on the Audiogon scale.

I am also selling:

SDA 2B (traditional style) in good condition. There are a few cosmetic issues (a little chipping of the veneer on the top back of 1 speaker, maybe a few small pulls in the fabric). All parts are original and in good working and sounding condition, let’s rate them a 7 on the Audiogon scale.

I am also selling:

Parts to make a Dreadnaught 1000VA, including a Avel-Lindberg 1000VA from a 2012 group buy still new in the shipping box and a case made for it by Toolfan (Larry).

Finally, I also am including an original pin-blade cable is pristine condition.

I would like to sell this all in 1 package for $1,000.

You will need to pick them up in East Brunswick NJ (08816) by late June (or early July if necessary).

I will post pictures of the speakers later today or tomorrow.

FYI, I will also be posting other speakers for sale, including SDA SRS 2 and a bunch of monitors.

I want these to go to a good Polk home, so please help me make this happen.

    It may take me a little bit to post pictures - I'm traveling this week and didn't pull them out before I left.

    Thanks, and I'm sure that you're right. I'm happy to sell in pieces, but I want to give whomever buys one of the 2Bs the first opportunity to also buy the Dreadnaught.

    Not that I need another pair of 2B’s, but for information for others; are the 2B’s modified in any way?

    Anyone looking for the 1000VA transformer and one of Larry’s cases for it, you won’t find a better deal than this. If you can find them at all.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Both 2Bs are original. My plan had been to pick one to mod and keep forever, but things change and I'm moving to a smaller place and can't justify putting these in storage. Hoping to find a good home for my gear.

    I really need to move these soon, so if anyone has any interest, please make me an offer.

    I wish I was a little closer, I have a fully modded pair of 2B that is rough so your 2Bs would be an improvement. I hope someone closer can give them a good home.

    Indeed that is the case, and still ongoing. so very sorry for my delayed responses (and they won't be the last).

    I've just responded to a DM for the dreadnaughts from a while back and need to give them some time to respond. If they decline, I'll reach out to the people above - thank you all for your interest.

    I still need to find homes for lots of other gear, including the above 2 pair of 2Bs and my SRS2s listed elsewhere. $250/paid of 2Bs - available in NJ or MD or so.

    I hope that you're all well and that I'll have a chance to spend more time with you folks in the future.
