These look pretty nice, I remember someone in the Dallas area was looking for SDAs a few weeks ago, I can't remember who it was.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Mine are just as nice, stock. I thought I paid a fair, but top end price @ $500. This guy wants more than Mike's upgraded speaks. Oh well, good gear and all.

    Saw the 1C's on ebay. Makes me glad I have the one's Mike sold me. Certainly a lot closer for me than Texas.
    Mike, I'm taking real good care of them. Play them every night with a real nice slow song before I turn the system off for the evening. They'll sound a lot better with a better preamp and amp. I'll get there though. Been looking every day. :)

    Hey guys. Thanks for thinking of me! Yeah, those speakers are in Azle which is about 45 minutes away from me. Right distance but do they seem a little high? I think I can get a set in Austin for about $400 and have a friend bring them up next time he goes home to visit. I really wanted a larger pair but these might work best for my listening room. I'll keep an eye on them!

    THanks again!

    In a reasonably sized room, I doubt you'll find the mid-sized 1Cs lacking. I listened to some 1.2TLs at Luc's when I bought mine...very fine, but I'm not disappointed or looking to upgrade. WAF's a stretch with these, though she's digging the sound.

    I don't think the 1C's in Texas will sell for that much but stranger things have happened. I know I'm not giving that much for them! I would rather spend that price or a couple hundred more on larger ones if they came up! lol

    That is probably a fair price if they are in really good condition (and they look to be in excellent condition). I wouldn't sell mine for less than that. Mine do have the upagraded tweeters and binding post though.
