1 pair of the original 1987 sda srs's for sale on e-bay. Any of you want to guess what the final price they will go for. Let's see who will be closest? Mine is $1280.00 just a guess.

I guess we'll never know how much they sold for. The seller cancelled the auction and sold them outside of Ebay. :mad:Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country!

THANK YOU RAIFE . . . With all the polkie people out there and I finally get a responce. Most of these people would rather start a subject and end up on a car or something we could give a **** about, a lot that does for the subject. O. K. enough said. I wondered what happened to the sda's, one day they are on and the next they are off. You are a good man my friend from down under. Maybe when I find my sda's in the future, I will sell you my crs's in oak. Thanks again...

Bill,
I am an Ebay member and I emailed the seller and inquired about the speakers. The seller said they were his father's speakers and that since his father died, his mother had no further use for them. He said he received an acceptable offer from outside of Ebay and decided to sell them directly. The price: $950!!! The seller's reserve price was only $800. At the time the auction was cancelled, the bidding had gotten up to $1025 with eight days still left to go. By the way, these speakers were a pair of SDA-SRS 1.2's and not the earlier SDA-SRS version. :mad:
A pair of these recently sold on Audiogon.com for $1900. When they show up on Ebay, they typically sell in the $1500-$1800 range.Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country! -
$950? For $950 I would get them to use them in the garage. Well, maybe not the garage but somewhere. You know, the drivers alone would run you $1300. Then add a few hundred for the xover. What is a box the size of a refrigerator worth these days?

Thank you my friend from down under. I just can't believe he jumped that soon, he would have gotten much more i'm sure if he would have waited. I was going to jump in on that one. Oh well I will be patient and wait for the next pair to arrive. If you hear of any e-mail me. Thanks again for the update. Have a good day.......Bill

Yep, $950. The seller replied to my inquiry with a rather lengthy email concerning the history of the speakers. They were one of his father's prized possessions. However, after his father passed away, his mother wanted those huge monster's OUT OF HER HOUSE. Hence, the below market sale price.
I was hoping for a crack at 'em because they were only a 5.5 hour drive from me. :mad:
This is not the first time I have seen a seller take a lower local offer rather than deal with a far away, but higher biddding Ebay buyer.

You are right, sometimes money isn't everything. Also being at the right place at the right time. I will patiently wait for the right price and time, it will come. Thanks again bro...

Yes, They are pair of SDA SRS 1.2TL's not just SDA SRS and also they are manufactured in 1989 not 1987. I got them for $1050 plus the shipping boxes of $51.00 and for the shipment I paid $247.00 from ABF Freight company.
They are in EXCELLENT condition except for the speaker grille cloth that has scruffing on it.

Thank you for shipping with ABF Freight System, Inc.Originally quote by Sean Windgate:
Thank-you for your inquirey on the SDA speakers. I would like to take the time to answer your questions. The Polk speakers are infact, SDA SRS 1.2 speakers. This set of speakers were purchased completely new from the manufacturer. They have only been owned and used my my mother and father. In which, my father is now deceased and my mother has no further use for them.
The speakers have not required any repairs, nor have they been altered by any modifications. The only existing damage is that of minor scruffing to the speaker screen covers. I assure you that the interior componets of the speakers (i.e. tweeters, mid-range drivers, and passive radiator), are in excellent and working condition and void of any damage. These speakers still operate in the same manner as they did upon first use. These speakers did not come equipped with interconnect cables nor any other devices. Therefore, my father had purchased his own cables which are of high-qaulity gold tips. However, I am instructed my mother that these cable connections will not be for sale. The only items being sold infact, are the speakers themselves.
Due to being employed overseas, my father had to have the SDA's transported back to the U.S. from my their previous residence there. My father disposed of the original cardboard boxes and replaced them with wooden shipping crates, which are also no longer availble. As far as the manual, it was unfortunately misplaced during their process relocating. If you would prefer obtaining a manual, it's my suggestion that you contact Polk Audio at: (800) 638-7276. I am sure that you wouldn't face any problem requesting one through the mail.
I hope that I have answered any questions that you might have had. I look forward to your reply, and thus our progression to a possible sale.
These speakers are the BEST,
Har
