    Just picked up a pair of SDA 1C (Studio's). Original owner with the interconnect cable. Only had minor dings with the only real issue being the particle board base on one is pretty trashed. Already pulled both off and will be making and replacing them with solid wood bases....

    Can I post a link here for vintage Polks that I am regretfully selling or is that against the rules (I see most links here are "no affiliation")?

    Too soon. You need 100 posts to give us a feel of your personality maybe.
    Let us get to know who you are and what your audio interests are if you have any.

    Your selling speakers huh? Go to the speaker thread or Club house thread and post what's going on and why you need to unload some Polks from your life. Are you going wireless or headphones or is it secret?

    Yes, the original cost allows for shipping, doesn't it?

    I thought about asking that too, but I'm a little short on spare funds since yesterday. :D

    > 7Bs with Peerless

    Even in moderate condition seems sweet -- especially if the stands are original and good condition. Really sweet for someone who would refinish the cabs anyway.

    500 bucks for some 3.1TL's in NoCal, no affiliation. Look to be in good condition except for a few dust covers. Start crying you East Coast Polkies. :'(he0fddqniach.jpghttps://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/ele/d/polk-audio-tower-speakers/6537304589.html

    My buddy picked these up (I think it was these). He sold the Vandersteen 2Ci's I gave him to get them. He's psyched. Lives in North Beach.

    I was crying for a month or two reading @Clipdat's frequent posts of all those sweet SF deals UNTIL Sat. .

    I now have something else to look at and listen to and to see if my interest in Audio can be peaked to the Goosebump and hair-raising point again. ;)B)

    I still get goosebumps occasionally with certain songs.

    Lately it's been the breakdown at 2:45 of this song:

    One of the most consistent audio "chillers" for me is
    Akara - The Royal Antechamber at 4:51 but only in FLAC from my FiiO and cranked up. :-)

    I downloaded the FLAC free from SoundCloud, so if anyone wants it just PM me.

    The Mrs and I are taking a road trip to Chicago this weekend to visit our son at Northwestern. And visit my family as well. Hmmm. Got a Yukon, should fit easily. Hmmm. How do I break the news to Momma? :smile:

    Just tell her they will be the last speakers you'll buy for a long time.

    They'll fill the back of the Yukon though! :oB)

    Whay other pair of SUPER sounding speakers can you get for that low of a price. Nothing as far as I'm concerned.

    Those will double your musical enjoyment! Guaranteed!

    But will they be there when you get there?...
