edited August 2004 in Flea Market
I have one pair of each of these and I may decide to sell them. I would rate their condition as maybe a 6.5 or 7 on a cosmetic scale and they are perfect on a function scale. Both pairs would benefit from new fabric and I haven't looked into this. If anyone here knows if the fabric available from Polk that would be appreciated. I am the second owner of both of these.
Basically I would like to know what kind of interest there might be in these. I am only considering it because I am moving to a smaller place temporarily and these would have to go into storage. I dont need to sell these, I am just looking to get an estimate of there value.
I know there are alot of knowledgeable Polkies here and I sincerely appreciate your honest feedback.

Thanks

    The fabric is not available from Polk any longer. Ken Swauger, Polk Customer Service Master, referred me to a local shop for acoustic fabric. He suggested the synthetic fabric as oppossed to the natural, as it is lighter and fitted more for the purpose. Try you local fabric shop.

    I am interested if you live somewhat close to me, otherwise I wish you luck in your sale. That is of course if you decide to sell. Good luck either way.

    I am going by what information you have provided. Here is the Orion BB breakdown for you, but I do not know the current street values. The Polkies can add some specifics to the actual Audiogon/Ebay values.

    That is the price each. I know for a fact the MSRP is/was $3400. Even so, a pair of mint 1.2TL's go for WAY more than $650. More like $2K as an average. In the shape you describe I would think about $1100 to $1500 would be reasonable.

    "I am just looking to get an estimate of there value.

    As stated, alot depends upon condition of speakers.
    Mint 1.2tl's will fetch over 2k, for most the shipping + crating and handling will be over $500. so a local pickup is key.

    You may be wading in PM's but just so we all know, where are you located?

    thanks,

    -Luc

    No not really wading in PM's...lol but I am in California. As stated earlier looking for estimates, might be co-ersed into a sale for the right dough, but not in need of the $. It's funny all the buzz is about the TL's and not anything about the srs's. I guess its all about the TL's.

    Last I heard from Brad, he said he was going to keep the 1.2's, but that he still wanted to sell the srs's.
