    Those were my 2nd pair of Sda’s. The cabinets were real wood. The transitional series had a plate over the ports.

    Umm, but how does the passive work in a ported enclosure? (It doesn't)

    I wonder IF POLK Audio ever had an ACTIVE driver in that design?

    Hard to tell with out the grills off or seeing the backs. Regardless even if they were 2's or 2.3's in decent shape that is still a hell-of-a deal!! I feel your pain I too have missed some really good deals by minutes......

    They appear to me too short to be 1.2's, or maybe even 2.3's. I would guess SDA 2's, although I am unfamiliar with the non-TL SDA's.

    @EndersShadow - Don't encourage me! haha

    @FestYboy - A set of 2's haven't shown up in my area, otherwise they'd probably be in the collection already. ;)

    You Know when people are selling some of these SDA's at ridiculously low prices (considering how much they were new and the fact you can't buy the same quality today without spending some real cash).

    You can't Not! buy them....... :)

    It was a 46" TV, back when TVs still had a 2-3" border all the way around. I had to upgrade to a 65" so the TV doesn't look so small in comparison. haha

    I've always wanted to hear a set of 3.1s, since the bass woofer is actually a driver instead of a passive.

    Regarding SDA 2's, if they come around and the price is right... :smiley:

    About a month ago a pair of 3.1tl's and a pair of 1.2tl's came to market in my area (which never happens by the way!!!)
    Unfortunately I could not rope buying both so I had to make a painful decision. 3.1's or 1.2's?? (I had neither at that point). Well I decided on the 1.2's..... Hope I made the right decision?

    I would like to eventually add a set of 3.1's, CRS's and a pair of SDA 2's to my collection. Then I would be happy for at least a couple of weeks..... LOL!

    Yes, pitdogg2, the 3.1s were the only SDA model (to my knowledge) that had a real bass driver (non-passive).

    hahaha Kmeek, you sound like me. Except I would have bought them both. LOL

    But to get back on topic....
