If you had a choice...SDA SRS2's or SDA 1C's?

Tell you what, when you invite me down for a listen, I'll bring the Hafler with me so you can give it a try.

Are those the 4ohm SRS 2's? 4 6509 drivers

Update: Just got home from picking them up. Not as immaculate as my 1C's but with some TLC and the usual upgrades, they'll be good to go. I'll post pictures sometime as soon as I can. Definitely bigger than the 1C's!

Sounds like some real junk you got there. I'll unburden you as a favor. I know, I know, but I just feel it's my duty as a good Polk citizen.

Seriously, though, I wouldn't be horribly upset if you let me have a listen!

Lol. We'll see. I gotta get things moved around later on to get these in my office and the 1C's into another room.

It's funny, this is my 3rd pair of Polks that haven't had the drivers that the Compendium shows! I pulled drivers on the Right channel for the heck of it since I had read that the early versions of these would have 4) MW6509's since they are the single connection terminals and not the bi-amp terminals. The latter versions show they should have 2) 6510's and 2) 6511's. Well, these are the single connection terminals but the top 2 mid drivers are MW6503's and the bottom are the MW6509's. Maybe 2 of the 6509's were changed out way back and the 6503's were the replacement at the time. Who knows. I'll check the other side later and see what the Left channel has in it.

I'm anxious to get them in my office and take a listen to them. The drivers themselves are immaculate and only need to be cleaned. The drivers still all have the "sticky" feel to them. They have the blade/blade connection which is good since that's what my 1C's have and she didn't have the cable anymore. The main wall in their living room was basically built around the SRS 2's being housed almost flush into the cabinetry. The front 3" of the top of the cabinets were painted (or stained) black to match the grills I guess, and the bottom lip was done the same way. But the wood itself is in great shape and I'm hoping it won't be a major process to get the black off and get them back stock.
