    Serious inquiries only, so be very serious if you contact this guy. No affiliation.

    Not TL's. Look nice from the pics. He states "make an offer" so you could likely get them for less.

    That is a fantastic price if you break it down.

    Tweeters $198
    Crossovers lets say humm $250

    So your getting the 1C's for about $150

    I'm bumping this up again before I end up buying them. They're a steal with the mods and upgrades.

    I agee totally! :mad:

    I am salivating over these speakers, but a road trip would just be unfeasible, and financially not feasible either, all the way from Florida.

    I spoke to him on the phone about shipping them, but it got too complicated and risky. David is a great guy, and you can be sure he did a first-rate job on the electronics. He's also a first-rate guy to deal with.

    Good luck David!

    I thought these MUST be on here already at the deal they're givin', but I couldn't find it in this thread? Mint 1.2TL's and 1 bid only has them at $750 - with only 2 days left!?! Don't know if he has a high reserve or not, but if he doesn't, it might be a helluva deal!

    There doesn't seem to be any reserve - but they're local pick-up in Idaho! Anyone within 500-1,000 miles ought to be jumping on these!

    Ebay auctions aren't over until they are over--2 days is a lot of time for that to be driven up--either that or people are just waiting til the end.

    I don't see a reserve on them, just a starting bid of $750.. If he started the bidding a $1, then maybe a reserve. But if somebody gets them for $750, then I guess yeah-one helluva deal. I'll have to watch that one just to see. Wouldn't be the first one people fell asleep on--Biggest issue with this kind of sale on eBay is that its Local P/U only so that significantly limits the potential buyers/competition.

    A rare opportunity to own one of the greatest speakers ever made. I bought these SDA SRS 1.2TL speakers from the original owner. The only flaw they have is what appears to be either crayon or lipstick on the lower right side of one of the speakers (it is not visible when facing the speakers. It would most likely come out, but I have not tried. All drivers and tweeters are performing flawlessly. These speakers have not been modified. Included with the auction is the original owner's manual, interconnect cable, and the "bass bracket" for the wall. I do not have the original boxes. Local pickup is STRONGLY recommended. If shipping is desired, the winning bidder is to pay shipping and all packaging charges. I have been a Polk fan for years and have owned everything from Monitor 7's, SDA-1C's, SDA-CRS (available in a separate auction), and these flagship Polks. Now it's time to share this beautiful sonic experience with one lucky bidder. Chances are if you're looking at this auction, you've always wanted these speakers. Bid with confidence and reward yourself.

    He doesn't state "Local Pickup Only," he suggests it. Boy if these are sleepers someone is going to make out like a bandit!
