    SDA SRS 1.2TL--the "big boys". The largest SDA (or speaker for that matter) Polk produced. They should also come with a 20+ft interconnect cable to run the dimensional drivers to achieve the Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA). They like good clean power and lots of it.

    Condition determines price but expect to pay $1600-1800.

    Here is an excellent link to Polk products of that era

    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57113

    Retail for those were $3400/pr

    Get dad's truck, or mom's suv - cut them in for 10% off the top of your sale, and you'll have plenty left over to setup a more than decent 2ch rig.

    I can't believe I work tonight...I'm only a few hours away! Imperium, I'm sure if you ended up with those speakers, someone would be more than willing to travel up to BC and buy them off you. ;)

    I wish I had the room for them. Fitting one on each side of a 56" DLP in a 10' wide room would look ridiculous.
