CT-Seven 764 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Having owned the SDA-SRS 2 of the Polk Audio and having always had Polk Audio paired with my Carver gear (minus that 1 time that I tried Klipsh) I always do my usual OfferUp searches to see what’s up. And this happens to appear https://offerup.co/jSnFY52S2db I am a responsible adult but I also do have a couple of dollars to spend... and I have a vehicle big enough to fit them safely now I have to try and convince the wife. I have been down this road before. Look below. I MUST BE STRONG AND NOT COMMIT!!!! 2 1
Daddyjt 9,616 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 GET THEM! they look to already have the RDO 194 tweeter upgrade ($400), and they look to be in nice shape! 1

itchitch 4,489 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 It looks like the baby has already been sold. 4
Daddyjt 9,616 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 When selling the wife on such endeavors, I’ve found it useful to propose selling the old speakers, to offset the cost of the new. If you never get around to selling the old, well....:-) 1 2
aceman117 723 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 You know you want them, so go for it!! The wife will understand... It's just going to cost you a whole bunch of flowers or jewelry!! Lol 1
BarryG 2,853 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Or trade in the wife for a new set of speakers! Lol i have 3 sets of polks, My Sda-1b’s are my main speakers. I’ll probably sell my Monitor 10as and monitor 5jr+ speakers. The latter sound real good with the Carverfest 275, at night when I don’t want yo upset the neighbors! 2

CT-Seven 764 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Posted February 21, 2021 The SDA-SRS2 where magical for the time that I owned them but the ones for sale I don’t know as I have not convinced the wife yet 1
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,463 Posted February 21, 2021 Community Admin Posted February 21, 2021 Oh gosh..., hurry..., Biggest regret I had was a line on a TFM-75 for under $500, only 20 minutes away..., Spent too much time convincing..., and well..., someone else got them. I have Polk SDA 1C's that I didn't hesitate on, got there, and there was another car in the driveway..., seller had integrity..., even though the other guy in the driveway offered a shitload more cash for them, the seller kept his commitment to me..., that doesn't happen very often..., but the story is that the longer they are listed, the longer someone else will get in your way..., before your decision is approved. Just helping to put perspective in play as you look at timing and logic, ... applied to OCCD and Polk acquisition. 😉 1
ZappaPatton 706 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Are the Polk SDA 2s a good buy at $500?
compwaco 1,129 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Sounds a bit high. I have SDA-1s and I would sell them for less.
BarryG 2,853 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I’d sell my SDA-1bs for $500, of course I did a lot of mods listed on the Polk forum, sonicaps in the tweeter circuit, black hole dampening, new SDA inductor custom made jantzen c-coils etc. snd dynamat on the frames of the woofers snd passive radiators!
Brian_at_HHH 2,691 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 In a situation like this, get them! If you can't convince the Missus, resell them, and go lick your wounds, but it's usually easier to justify them sitting there, preferably with something the better half likes in a small, expensive looking box on top of them. Justify it as "I always wanted to know what they were like." 😺 1
ZappaPatton 706 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I am sooo OK with @Brian_at_HHHand @kve777 playing good cop bad cop all the way to my perfect system. 1
Brian_at_HHH 2,691 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 The scary part is, @kve777 is the good cop! 😺 1
Walrus Gumboot 370 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Get them! Remember, it is always better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Edited February 15, 2022 by Walrus Gumboot 2 3
Brian_at_HHH 2,691 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 And the key to a happy marriage is being able to run faster scared, than she can mad! 😅 4
