    I think they are a blade/blade interconnect cable so Polk would still sell it. Say you are a member and get a 20 percent discount.

    Welcome to Club Polk.

    I believe the CRS+ is a Pin/Blade? The pin blade interconnect cable is no longer available from Polk. You can make one fairly easily by using some 14 guage speaker wire and a couple of RCA male plugs. Just break the outer "wings" of the RCA plug and stick them into the pin socket. You can also connect the negative terminals on your speakers if you wish. If you are using a non-common ground amplifier or mono block then you have to buy/build an AI-1 (IIRC) to isolate the speakers other wise some bad things could happen to the speakers or amp(s).

    Use the search feature in the Vintage and DIY sections and you will find the answer's to many of your questions

    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    I think they only discount drivers. I purchased a Blade/Blade (they no longer have Pin/Blades) from Polk a month ago for $40. Other items made my order large enough that shipping was free. I don't know if they charge shipping on an interconnect cable by itself.

    I sell them with upgraded silver plated wire for Pin Blades. They are $45.
    Ben
    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

    Here's an after market one on ebay for around $40 shipped

    It is blade/blade not pin/blade.Just so OP understands this is not the one for his speakers.

    If by chance someone needs blade/blade IMHO I would purchase direct from Polk instead of an unknown person.

    The SDA CRS+ came both ways. The earlier version is blade/blade, the later version is pin/blade.

    Are there regular CRS speakers or are they all CRS+. If there is a difference how can you tell. I recently purchased a pair of CRS speakers, they have the blade/blade connection. I was blown away by there sound. Could they be an early version of CRS+ speakers.

    The original CRS (blade/blade) have two tweeters, one stereo and one SDA. The CRS+ (blade/blade) and the CRS+ (pin/blade) have one tweeter.

    Brett,

    Let me know how to get mine down your way so that you could borrow them for awhile. I've got other SDAs to pass my time while you see if these suit you. The CRS+ that I have got a little cab damage in transit thanks to UPS so there is no real heartfelt value in this pair for me. PM me if you are interested. I'll be in OKC or Tulsa in January I'm sure.
