SDA 1Cs
« on: September 14, 2011, 09:13:51 AM »
Hey all,

I'm finally ready to part with my 1Cs. I've owned them for about 3 years. They're in nearly perfect condition. The only flaw is a small coffee ring on one of the caps (see photo).

They have the original SL2000 tweeters, upgraded crossovers with mills resistors and Clarity Cap capacitors.

All of the drivers are original and in great shape.

I have the original pin/blade interconnect cable and the original cardboard boxes for shipping.

Also, they're not shown in the photos but the grills are all in perfect condition.







You can read all about the crossover mod here:

I'd like to get $500 for these. They really are in VERY good condition.

Local pickup in Pittsburgh is preferred. I'm open to shipping at the buyer's cost (AND RISK!!)

I'll also consider trades for Definitive Technology BP10s or 700X supertowers.


Thanks for looking!
~Matt

Give them a listen while you're down there at CF.   If you like them, maybe we can work something out.  I do have the original boxes and they're pretty nicely padded if I remember correctly.  It'll probably cost you a bit for the shipping though because they are about 80lbs each!!

I've never been a big fan of Polks because they can sound phasey to me but at Carverfest the system with the Polks got my vote for best sounding piano.

Well, the 1C's you heard at Carverfest weren't exactly stock. Every daggum upgrade you could possibly fathom was done to that pair. I apologize for interrupting a FS thread but I felt the need to clarify a bit so that there was no misunderstanding.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference.

No worries treitz.

These SDAs aren't exactly stock either.  I upgraded the crossovers with some fairly high quality components.

Good to hear you guys enjoyed carverfest.

We have the cash and are ready to pick them up
Please respond and let me know when you can arrange an audition

If you have reservations letting others into your home, an audition at the shop will be fine with me.

Please get back to me
