SDA 1C's in Elgin, Oklahoma, with RD0-194's, sound deadening in the cabinets, spikes and who knows what else. Currently $150 on the bay, but I bet a reserve has not been met. No affiliation, but some one here needs to get these.

I wonder what "extreme water damage and rotting away" means? I don't see any extreme water damage from the pictures.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

IF you re-read, he says the "original boxes"....
" Original boxes came with them when I purchased them. They had extreme water damage. Ended up rotting away over the years. I will NOT ship these." -
Thank you for clearing that up.

It is a novel idea. Unfortunately I have a feeling they screwed up the sound. You just cant stick the same speakers in box and expect it to sound as good as the system Polk originally engineered.
But this has potential. What is wrong with taking an original monitor series speaker and adding some exterior trim? Might help with the wife acceptance factor.

agree! The only "Polk" item on that appears to be the passive radiator …. -
If speakers are not musical, then what are they good for?
Firewood.
Saw this "F1nut answer" to a question in another thread. It fits!
I wonder if anyone has thought about creating a collection of F1nut FAQ"S. I have laughed many times at some of his answers in older threads. No disrespect to F1 as he is really unique."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Harry / Marietta GA -

Hey Festivus, I'm sure others will chime in, but there was I believe a B/B version of the 1C! IIRC, my 1st set of 1C's, of which @westmassguy modded for me, was a transitional version of the 1C, which had the B/B.
Still a great deal! NOS! Wow!
