    Bought a pair of 7c's from this seller last year. Nice person with an outstanding Polk / Sunfire collection of equipment. Found & bought a pair of SDA 2a's last winter from CL but had to travel 400+ miles to get them. These are local. Do I need them? No. Do I want them? Yes. How will they compare with my unrestored 2a's? What's a fair offering price? Any input is appreciated.

    Yeah. These are about the only size Monitor series speaker I could get away with. Look to be roughly the same size as my 703s, albeit not as deep.

    Were these 1.2? :(

    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.

    They look like SRS 2 to me.

    There's a lot of dreamers with some very ordinary gear.

    Ordinary or not that is a decent price on some decent speakers, If I didn't already have 2 model 10's (and live 3000 miles away) I would be all over them.

    Not sure why those didn't quickly sell at that price, they would be gone in a few days in the Philadelphia area.

    Its worth more than that price just for the drivers and better tweeters.

    70 bucks will move them in SoCal.

    Nice! I got a pair for $80 in the Philadelphia area and thought I was stealing them.


    I doubt the math will work but you should think about buying enough to fill up a Uhaul then take a trip to the Northeast. I am sure they will be enough Polkies along the route so you will have a place to stay (depending on what you have for them in the Uhaul)

    With a busy weekend ahead already, I don't want to take time or space unless they have a likely destination...
    Someone would need to expect that by the time it arrived to them (even by careful Polkie Express) a driver (or four) might be bad, cap broken or compressed, crossover failing, who knows...

    I can get to the bottom of NC in 7 or so hrs but that about my limit for a day trip... If they could get to NC unscathed, I can safely say they'd stay that way.

    But I digress: my point really was that it's an impossible deal (even if there's "no room" for them).
