    A few months ago I bought a premo set of 2.3TL's for 500 and sold off my older 2.3's (had the donut drivers like yours in the pic) for 450. They are nice and did you get the interconnect cable with them?

    THANKS GUYS !!!! No mention of inter. cable. But heck a few more bucks ain't gonna hurt at this point. Judging from the condition I'm sure they do but he just forgot to mention it.


    + 1 on the masks polksince.

    Are the donut driver an improvment on the "regular" drivers ????

    You don't see these that often so I am not familar with those drivers.

    I'm sure they're gonna sound sweet -- what are you gonna use to push them?

    Congrats....those look great :D

    I have their twin pair here ( Pic was at the house of the ladies I got them from...they bought em new...played for a few hours...decided they were too big for the room decor...put back in boxes and stored away in a spare bedroom :confused: ...they didnt need the money and they were too big to return ) .

    He mentions he has the cable for you in the ebay ad.....mine also came with some special literature stating their design and how they function...if you want copies pm me your address. It goes into detail what driver is working at what frequency and why they designed it that way....really cool stuff.

    The donut driver was on the 2.3's (yours) but they did away with it in the 2.3tl's. Polk felt they had too much midrange and added the donut drivers (MW6513). These are just for lower bass.

    Congrats! I have the same pair in my basement that my dad bought new in the late 80's and can't wait to make the upgrades.

    What are you going to power them with? As you probably already know, they like clean high current power.

    Enjoy!

    Good eye TNT. I believe they used something called a "typewritter" back then . I had to Google it. Never heard of that technology before.

    LOL. I am at a kid at Christmas. I should put my "days till 2.3's" calender up.
