    back to the topic...

    $200 for 11Ts
    https://southjersey.craigslist.org/ele/d/polk-audio-monitor-series-11t/6491928963.html

    $150 max... If you absolutely have to have them. The 2 pair I got in NJ were 160 and 100 respectively. And both were cleaner than those.

    LSi-15s asking $475. He might be disappointed with the bass and staging. ;-)

    Pair of 3.1TLs popped up southwest of Sacramento. Asking $700. Bunch of wrong info in the ad - can't blame those who haven't found enlightenment - but look decent anyway.

    Just picked up these SDA SRS 1.2TLs.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polk-Audio-Crossover-Speakers/322818292288?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

    When I got there I noticed they had some water damage on the bottom cap, so I got a pretty good deal (I am going to redo the veneer anyways).

    And in case anyone needs to know, a pair of SDA SRS 1.2TLs will fit in a Prius!

    @Tony M I thought they would fit based on my measurements (one on its back the other on its side), and given that it was over an hour drive each way, I was going to make them fit!

    @aprazer402 thanks for the compliment! I am the original owner of those 1C's (bought them back in September 1987!) and have been a fan ever since!

    @la2vegas I am in south OC. Where are you located?

    @Rrusse11 the seller said they were in "perfect" condition. He also said that he had the IC when I talked with him on the phone. Neither of which turned out to be correct. I didn't know the total extent of the water damage to the bottom plank until we loaded them in the Prius, but I had already paid for them. He said if I had any issues with them, he would give me my money back and would even come pick them up. I respected that.

    I am going to need to replace the bottom plank on one of them as it has severe water damage (veneer peeling off). I am going to remove the bottom plank to see if the water got into any of the MDF box structure, but I don't think it did.

    I cleaned them up a little last night. Every pair of the large SDAs that I have purchased (3 pair now) has had white house paint splatter on the back! Always a PITA to remove without damaging the speaker. I guess these speakers are too big for most people to move out of the room when they paint!

    After a good scrub down, I put some vinyl/rubber protectant on the fronts and backs, and they look brand new again.

    Now to removing the bottom plank for an inspection. I think I will start a separate thread on this one.

    @la2vegas oh my! That is too funny. Polk Speakers always seem to be in someone else's backyard! I think we just like road trips.

    Now I remember going to listen to the RTA 11T's when they came out and I loved them. I have been looking for a nice pair of RTA 11TLs for quite some time.

    Any pictures of your recent acquisition to share?
