Picked up a pair of SDA 2B (pretty sure) on local CL just 2 miles from me. Not mint by any means, but decent and functional. Hooked them up for the first time and listened today...first word was "WOW" when I heard them and when I lifted them. :eek:

Bottom of one is rough, top of one has a little water damage, grills are pretty good with a few snags (and a few tiny nails holding one on), tweeters may have been dented and pulled out, drivers are all perfect. May have to do a little work to them over time, but fine as is for now.

I like SDA! :D

    Polish the tops with some furniture polish and lay a cloth on top of them to hide the scars and protect them from any further damage. Then enjoy the hell out of them until they fall apart in 40 years.

    Nice find! I'm in Seattle also, and I missed them. I guess I'll have to start checking CL 16 times per day. 15 doesn't seem to be cutting it. However, I'm glad a fellow Polk fan got them for a good price, instead of somebody clueless about what they are.
