    Take a look at DarqueKnight's Dreadnaught project...

    are all the drivers/tweeters working properly?

    Have fun, man, I know you are.:cool:

    I had a feeling that these were better than advertised. That's a real score. I'd leave them stock, get used to them, save some coin, then do the upgrades.

    Yes.



    There perfect. How the guy kept them in this good of shape I will never know. I mean. After 20 years or so. You would think a vacuum cleaner or SOMETHING would have left a mark.

    You got a deal. For that price, if you knew what you were getting, the guy would have been tipped off by the puddle around your shoes. Way to go.:cool:

    I am happy to see you got them bro... It just figures the one day I choose to spend with the wife (30 minutes from these beauties I might add) they go up on CL. I usually check CL twice daily for Polk SDA's and had I been able to do so they might have come here instead.

    Some here may know of my 1.2TL's... short story is I lost them to divorce and a trash collector in Los Angeles did the rest by crushing them in the compactor of his trash truck before I could save them. Though this does not excuse my agressiveness, I hope some of you can at least understand it, as once you have had these, nothing else comes close. Again I appologize for any grief that you might have gone thru, but I am certain the joy in your home tonite far outweighs the BS... Again, congrats!:)

    I was thinking of running my SRSs with a TFM 35 and a TFM 45

    is it possible to connect the 35 run the highs and the 45 for the lows, i am not familiar with bi-amping or how to do it....I always thought you would run the outputs from one amp to one set of posts, then the other amp to the other posts....sorry, I am not sure how, thats why I have never done it!!

    but I just sold my TFM 45 :(

    With two different amps, you have to run to both speakers with both amps. 35 to mid/tweeters & 45 to lows (horizontal bi=amping) Does your 45 have a gain control ? Remove "jumpers" between top set and bottom set of binding posts before bi-amping!!

    OOPS, I just saw that you sold your 45 ! Get another 35 and then you can go vertical.

    You are not talking about bridging them? That would be very very bad.

    Thanks for all the congrats.



    I know this is a BOLD statement. But these MAY very well be the last speakers I ever buy.... Or least It will be a long time before I venture out to anything else.



    I can't wait to get some real power too them...

    Nik and I are in Virginia right now. I somehow managed to stumble home to my hotel room after a completely red neck drunken night with his family. They rule!

    By the way, Nik's new horns look pretty sweet, but nothing compared to the pristine SDAs I heard this past morning.

    Wow, this is the score of the year. I'm friggin' jealous. I'm real happy with my 1C's, but I'm sure I'd be a lot happier with those bad boys. One day.....
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Nope, everything that I've heard or read about bridging a 2ch. amp to run mono is, it's a bad idea,hard on the amp, F's up the control of low freq. drivers and never should be done with less than an 8ohm speaker load. I never plan to even give it a try!;)
