Polk SDA-1C Studio located in North Texas

thsmith

Last Novemebr I drove 2200 miles round trip to pick up these 1Cs. I had to replace one of the MW 6511 drivers and used original as it matches the look to other MW vs the new ones from Polk. the 6511 had the magnet shifted which was that way when I got it.

They are very presentable (more so than the pictures show, see my set up in link below for same speakers) with only slight rear edge bumps/nicks.

No vinyl is torn or peeling other than the rear edges as you can see in the pics is minor.

The MW and PR have been mortited.

I do not have the orginal IC but did make one that goes with the Studios.

I did have RDO1094s in them but have removed and put back original SL2000s.

Speakers sound great and since this is local pick up you can hear them before taking them.

Price is firm at $300 as I have more than that in them. I will list them locally on CL if not sold here by next weekend.

PM for questions or schedule a time to come and listen.

If someone out of town wants them I will hold them but request you have someone you trust to come look and listen, pay me and I will hold them for a agreed time frame.

Sunday night bump

GREAT price Tim.

george daniel

these would look good in your casa Ben.

Monday morning bump. While I am not currently looking for anything I can consider interesting trades.

I had rather see these 1Cs go to a fellow Polkie than CL

Hang in there bro'. At that price, they should move rather quickly.

TX is already flooded with SDA's. Great price. Whish i could take a road trip for another pair.

Rarely do you see SDAs come up in Austin/San Antone, Have not seen a set in Dallas/Fort Worth or Houston.

I've seen a few. A co-worker actually sold two sets of these and an
amp a couple of years ago. I've found a few others.
These are temping, but I'm getting too old to heave these things
around. Good deal for someone.

There have been several pairs lately (not Texas) that have been in the $500 - $600 range (asking). $400 is considered a really good price, and at $300 these are a steal. Hopefully someone will jump on these.

Tracy,

Buy your wife some flowers, then tell her you're keeping them...;) Seriously, you're being extremely generous. I hope someone finds a home for them.

Ron, I agree the price is right and hopefully a local Texan can take advantage. If not I will keep them. Just have no room and I need to replinish my upgrade fund.

zarrdoss

looks like you are having the same luck I have had selling my 2.3's, I hope you sell them.

PSOVLSK

Chances are these are SOLD:D Just have to get by this weekend to check them out and take a listen. I've been wanting SDA's for a while and to find 1C's in my backyard at this price...can't imagine they won't be mine by Sunday:D:D:D

zarrdoss

I thought living near Denver mine would be sold by now, maybe I will have to move back to Arlington.......

thsmith

Dang Zarrdoss, I thought thought beauties sold already, went and looked and they are back up for sale.

Be patient, They are to purdy to go unsold. Remeber some people just got their taxes behind them or have not got their refund.

Use to hang at some of the local Arlington biker bars 20 years ago. North Dallas is to proper to have good bars.

zarrdoss

I lived down there about 2000 and used to go to deep elum? now I hear its all gone, and your hard core raido station plays the bee gees. it was just way to hot and humid for me down there, Since I auditioned these I have moved them back into the living room on main duty on my HT and really dont care if they sell or not.

thsmith

There you go ! Dallas humid? You should try Houston.

I worked in a place with no ac, welding and using grinders and one day it was like 112 F and 98% humidity, I thought I was going to die!

Fongolio

If they haven't sold I'm going to see if I can relay them to me in Canada. If they are sold I will talk to zarrdoss about his 2.3's and try to relay those.

Ron Temple

I thought POSLVSK was getting these...

thsmith

Sold to POSLVSK.

Thanks Paul

Ron Temple

I guess he liked them . Paul, we're looking forward to your LSi/SDA comparison...maybe after you replace the SL2000s though .

thsmith

I assume the mod marks this post sold ?

I loved them after about 30 seconds of listening:D Problem is that now Tracy has me itching for a little vinyl. Man they sounded great in his setup.

This is obviously with the speakers in different rooms driven by different gear, but my initial impression leans toward the SDA's...even with the SL2000's. Maybe I'm just so excited about them that I want them to sound better:p

I'll revisit this subject after more listening.

By the way, Tracy is top notch. These speakers look WAY better than the pictures show. There is hardly a scratch on them...and Tracy pointed out even the slightest blemish to make sure I knew exactly what I was getting.

thsmith

Thanks Paul for the kind words. Great to meet you and look forward to staying in touch. Your HT sounds awesum.

Ever want any panals made let me know.
